Unfamiliar Faces

Three experiments are reported in which recognition of faces from whole faces or internal or external features was compared. In the first experiment, where the faces were of famous people, an advantage was found for identification from internal features. In the second experiment involving unfamiliar faces, however, no difference was found in recognition rates when subjects were given the internal or the external features. In a third experiment famous faces were presented and mixed with other famous faces for a recognition test. As in experiment 1, better recognition occurred from internal as compared with external features. It is argued that the internal representation for familiar faces may be qualitatively different from that for faces seen just once. In particular some advantage in feature saliency may accrue to the internal or ‘expressive’ features of familiar faces. The implications of these results are considered in relation to general theories of face perception and recognition.

Natural Way

Lipreading presents a unique glimpse of the intersection of sensory processes with modular, cognitive ones. It presents speech to the eye in an automatic and natural way, whether performed silently or in conjunction with heard speech. It therefore allows us to examine closely claims concerning the relation between input modality and cognitive function. In this paper I consider some of the ways in which the investigation of single neuropsychological cases casts light on this; such cases show us that lipreading can dissociate from other aspects of face perception and recognition, and from auditory speech perception and reading, too. Furthermore, different cognitive components of lipreading itself can be inferred from dissociations on different lipreading tasks. This leads to closer consideration of the boundaries of the necessary cognitive (and possibly anatomical) structures that subserve these functions.
