Holistic processing of faces happens at a glance.

摘要: Holistic processing (HP) of faces can be inferred from failure to selectively attend part a face. We explored how encoding time affects HP by manipulating exposure duration the study or test face in sequential matching composite task. was observed for as rapid 50 ms, and unaffected whether limited. effects emerge soon performance is above chance, are not larger at durations. Limiting vs. did have differential on response biases fastest These findings provide key constraints understanding mechanisms recognition. results first demonstrate that emerges very briefly presented faces, limited perceptual overall level but processed holistically.
