Perception and Memory for Human Faces
How people perceive and remember faces has been of focus of work in my lab for many years. Our recent work consists of several projects that look at how we perceive faces and people in motion and how we can explore the internal representation of a face with perceptual adaptation techniques. We have also collaborated on projects with developmental psychologists interested in infants’ perception of faces. The following includes a list of recent papers on various topics within this domain.
