我们如何识别熟悉的面孔？哪些因素决定了面部吸引力？婴儿和儿童的面部处理是如何发展的？为什么面部重建系统，如Photofit和E-Fit，产生的原始面部的相似度如此之差？《面部处理：心理学、神经心理学和应用视角》是20年来第一本试图回答这类问题的主要教科书。借鉴该领域的最新研究，并围绕三个主要研究视角——心理学、神经心理学和应用心理学——进行组织，它为来自广泛学科的学生提供了相关问题的见解。在过去的十年里，人脸识别和表情感知已经产生了大量的研究，随着媒体对相关问题的高调报道，例如巴西学生Jean Charles de Menezes的错误识别，人脸处理是心理学研究中的一个热门话题。人脸处理抓住了该领域的兴奋，并参考了大量的研究和现实世界的现象，它揭示了我们对人脸处理的理解是如何发展的。这本书的第一部分，关于面部处理的心理学观点，考虑了我们如何能够识别熟悉的面孔；我们如何从面部提取情感、性别和年龄等信息；以及人脸处理能力的发展。第二部分涵盖了神经心理学的观点，并检查了脑损伤后出现的面部识别障碍，并询问面部是否是一种“特殊”的视觉刺激。最后，人脸处理的应用前景部分描述了人脸重建系统，如Identikit和Photofit，以及它们的局限性；它讨论了构建面部复合材料的方法，以及“语言遮蔽”现象，即对视觉刺激的语言描述随后会导致人们识别这些刺激的能力暂时受损。假设没有这方面的先验知识，这本书是学习面部处理作为心理学学位的一部分的学生的完美资源，其覆盖面的广度使它与计算机科学的学生，对神经学感兴趣的医科学生，以及法医科学的学生相关。
How do we recognise familiar faces? What factors determine facial attractiveness? How does face processing develop in infants and children? Why do face reconstruction systems, such as Photofit and E-Fit, produce such poor likenesses of the original face? Face Processing: psychological, neuropsychological and applied perspectives is the first major textbook for 20 years that seeks to answer questions like these. Drawing on the most recent research in the field, and organised around the three main research perspectives - psychological, neuropsychological, and applied - it provides insights on issues of relevance to students from a wide range of disciplines. Face recognition and expression perception have generated a large amount of research over the last decade, and with high profile media coverage of related issues, such as the misidentification of Brazilian student, Jean Charles de Menezes, face processing is a hot topic within the study of psychology. Face Processing captures the excitement in the field, and with reference to a wealth of studies and real-world phenomena, it reveals how our understanding of face processing has developed over the years. The first section of the book, on the psychological perspectives of face processing, considers how we are able to recognise familiar faces; how we can extract information such as emotion, sex and age from a face; and how face processing abilities develop. The second section covers the neuropsychological perspectives, and examines the disorders of face recognition that arise following brain injury, and asks whether faces are a 'special' class of visual stimuli. Finally, a section on the applied perspectives of face processing describes face reconstruction systems, such as Identikit and Photofit, and their limitations; it discusses methods of constructing facial composites, and the phenomenon of 'verbal overshadowing', whereby verbal descriptions of visual stimuli subsequently leads to a temporary impairment in people's ability to recognise those stimuli. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book is the perfect resource for students studying face processing as part of a psychology degree, and the breadth of its coverage makes it of relevance to computer science students, medical students with an interest in neurology, and students of forensic science, too.
