The Recognition of Faces

question 14

Multiple Choice

The recognition of faces

• A) seems to rely on the detection of features and geons, indicating that the recognition by components model can be applied to face recognition.
• B) resembles other forms of recognition in that our ability to recognize faces is relatively unimpaired by changes in viewing angle or orientation.
• C) differs from other forms of recognition in that face recognition appears not to be influenced by expectation or knowledge effects.
• D) is influenced by configurational factors, suggesting that a model based on feature detection will provide a poor explanation of face recognition.
