Exam 13: Recognising Faces

Which of the following is not a suggested characteristic of the 'prototype' face thought to underlie recognition?

When Kanwisher et al. compared BOLD activity evoked by different stimuli in the right fusiform gyrus, they found that:

In Biederman's theory of Recognition by Components, the units of recognition are known as:

The inversion effect for faces describes the finding that:

Face aftereffects have which of the following characteristics?

Rhodes et al. adapted their participants to (for example) small upright faces and large inverted faces. For test faces of various sizes, they found that:

How have image processing techniques contributed to our understanding of face recognition?

Perrett et al. concluded that some cells in superior temporal sulcus are responding to faces, on the grounds that:

Which of the following is not one of the three separable aspects of configural processing of faces distinguished by Maurer et al.?

Which of the following results for TMS was not obtained by Pitcher et al.?

The composite face effect supports the hypotheses that faces are processed holistically because:

Haxby et al. found that different patterns of activity were evoked in temporal areas by different classes of objects, unless:

Prosopagnosia is:

Inversion effects have not been shown after training for:

In an anti-face:

'Face space' is:

Neurons which respond to faces have not been found in which of the following brain areas?

The idea of 'object form topography', suggested by Haxby et al., is that:

How have Greebles contributed to our understanding of face recognition?

What does the inversion effect tell us about face recognition?
