3. Face Recognition Flashcards
What do all humans have in common? (ccc face recognition)
First order relations e.g two eyes
What are second order differences? (ccc face recognition)
Characteristics that stand out e.g a large nose
What are the characteristics of Bruce and Young ( 1986) face recognition early model? (ccc face recognition)
- Modular model
- Distinct pathways
- Parallel pathways
What are face recognition units (FRU)? (ccc face recognition)
Information stored as descriptions of previously encountered faces
What are prostyle identity nodes (PIN)? (ccc face recognition)
Identity specific information e.g where you know a person from
What are name generation units (NGU)? (ccc face recognition)
Taking the input from PIN’s to generate the full name and identity of the individual
What does expression analysis deal with? (ccc face recognition)
Computing facial emotions e.g happy or sad
What does facial speech analysis deal with? (ccc face recognition)
Lip reading, not just for those who are hard of hearing
What does directed visual processing? (ccc face recognition)
Used when looking for particular information from a face
What is the neuropsychological support or parallelism? (ccc face recognition)
Some can’t recognise the face but can recognise the facial expressions (and vice versa)
What is the neuro-imaging support for parallelism? (ccc face recognition)
Different cortical sites are active in the processing of identity verses emotion
What does the interactive activation and competition model suggest? (ccc face recognition)
A parallel distribution of networks that have interacted activation and competition
What happens to semantic information in the interactive activation and competition model? (ccc face recognition)
Semantic information is pooled and relationships between pools are connected.
In the interactive activation and competition model, how are connections within pools described? (ccc face recognition)
Mutually inhibitory
In the interactive activation and competition model, how are connections between pools described? (ccc face recognition)
Mutually facilitatory
