Exam 13: Recognising Faces

Young and Yamane suggested that faces are represented in the brain by:

In Mooney faces:

After adaptation to a male face, an androgynous face appears:

In a caricature:

After adaptation to vertical orange and black stripes, alternating every 15 s with identical but horizontal black and blue stripes, black and white stripes appear:

Why is the variability of faces important?

Which of the following have been used to show that face aftereffects are not the results of adaptation to low-level visual mechanisms?

Adaptation to its anti-face:

Robbins and McKone questioned whether the improvements in recognition of non-face stimuli with training reflected the development of configural processing, because:

Gauthier et al. found that evoked BOLD activity in the right fusiform gyrus:

The deleterious effects of contrast reversal on recognition of faces are:

Biederman's theory of Recognition by Components can easily explain:

Could faces and other objects be represented in a network of processes in the brain?

Diamond and Carey suggested that the inversion effect for faces resulted from:

Which of the following is not a problem identified by Kanwisher et al. in deciding from BOLD activity whether a brain region is selectively responding to faces?
