Project summary/abstract Facial perception and memory are visual abilities that are driven by an interplay between low-level visual and higher-level cognitive functioning. Deficits in facial perception and memory are associated with diminished quality of life and a range of social challenges, and it has been suggested that this functional deficit may be an early marker for the later onset of structural abnormalities in a variety of conditions. One of these conditions—one that has received scant attention—is diabetic retinopathy. In a recent systematic review, difficulty in perceiving faces was noted as one of the greatest subjective restrictions on visual functioning. Diabetic retinopathy affects approx- imately one-third of individuals with diabetes world-wide. The vision loss associated with diabetic retinopathy is preventable, given early identification, medical intervention and monitoring, and behavioral interventions. Diabetic retinopathy can be generally separated into two classes. The first is non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is characterized by micro-aneurysms, intraretinal hemorrhages, venous beading or intra-retinal microvascular ab- normalities. The second is proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is characterized by retinal neovascularization. In cases of macular edema, there is a thickening of the macula which can result in the loss of central vision. Deficits in face processing have been studied more frequently in two pathologies that affect the macula: age- related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucomatous macular damage. Patients with AMD regularly identify facial processing as tasks with which they experience significant difficulty. In the literature on AMD, deficits in facial processing have been identified as significant components of quality of life. The magnitude of the deficits in facial processing in AMD are such that they are second only to deficits in reading in subjective complaints. Finally, it has been noted that deficits in facial processsing are among the first subjectively-reported symptoms of AMD, often occurring before the detection of structural abnormalities. With respect to deficits in facial percep- tion and memory in glaucomatous macular damage, there is evidence that significant impairments exist despite patients having good central visual acuity. In addition, the amount of the diffuse macular damage is significantly related to impairments in contrast sensitivity and measures of facial recognition and identification. It has been suggested that other related visual pathologies—including diabetic retinopathy—should show similar patterns of performance deficits. However, very little work on this issue has been done in the case of diabetic retinopa- thy. The work proposed here represents an important first step in addressing this need. The accomplishment of this work will result in the first quantification of the prevalence and severity of deficits in facial processing in diabetic retinopathy, the first analytic empirical treatment of the pathology-related differences in processing feat- ural and configural information, and the first theoretical treatment of those differences. The novel application of two meta-theories using a new experimental design, along with a modeling approach capable of relating those meta-theories has the potential to be transformative in this domain.

项目概要/摘要 面部感知和记忆是视觉能力，由低水平视觉和视觉之间的相互作用驱动。 高级认知功能面部知觉和记忆的缺陷与质量下降有关 生活和一系列社会挑战，有人认为，这种功能缺陷可能是早期的 在各种情况下，结构异常的后期发作的标志物。这些条件之一， 糖尿病性视网膜病变很少受到关注。在最近的一项系统综述中， 被认为是视觉功能最大的主观限制之一。糖尿病视网膜病变的发病率 几乎占全球糖尿病患者的三分之一。与糖尿病视网膜病变相关的视力丧失是 可预防的，给予早期识别，医疗干预和监测，以及行为干预。糖尿病 视网膜病通常可分为两类。第一种是非增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变， 特征为微动脉瘤、视网膜内血管瘤、静脉串珠或视网膜内微血管瘤， - 是的第二种是增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变，其特征在于视网膜新生血管。 在黄斑水肿的情况下，黄斑增厚，这可能导致中心视力丧失。 面部处理的缺陷在影响黄斑的两种病理中被更频繁地研究：年龄- 相关性黄斑变性（AMD）和青光眼性黄斑损伤。AMD患者定期识别 面部处理作为他们经历重大困难的任务。在有关AMD的文献中， 面部处理已被确定为生活质量的重要组成部分。赤字的规模 在AMD的面部处理中，这些缺陷在主观主诉中仅次于阅读缺陷。 最后，已经注意到面部处理缺陷是第一个主观报告的症状之一 AMD，通常发生在检测到结构异常之前。关于面部皱纹的缺陷， 在青光眼性黄斑损伤中，有证据表明，尽管 患者具有良好的中心视力。此外，弥漫性黄斑损伤的数量显著增加， 与对比敏感度和面部识别和识别措施的损害有关。已经 提示其他相关的视觉病理-包括糖尿病视网膜病变-应该显示出类似的模式， 性能缺陷。然而，在糖尿病视网膜病变的情况下，关于这个问题的工作很少。 你的。这里提出的工作是解决这一需要的重要的第一步。的完成而 这项工作的完成将首次量化面部处理缺陷的普遍性和严重性， 糖尿病视网膜病变，第一个分析经验治疗的病理相关的差异，在处理的壮举， 自然和构造信息，以及对这些差异的第一次理论处理。新用途 使用新的实验设计的两个元理论，沿着的是能够将它们联系起来的建模方法 元理论在这一领域具有变革的潜力。
