Lecture 3- face recognition/perception Flashcards

1
Q

briefly describe the challenge for the system we use to recognise faces?

A

face recognition has to deal with all these challenges that are over and above the identity, different images of same faces that can look different < our recognition system has to cope with these different elements

A

we try to extract some inner variant about each individuals face and use this as our basis.

Q

identify 5 processing stages in a possible model of face recognition…

A

1) image of face, description of face, stored descriptions of faces ( face recognition units, matching of faces) , person identities (other routes to identy, voice/name ect), Names

Q

briefly describe the basic idea of face recognition?

A

you need to create some sort of internal description about the face and match it with what you have stored in your memory, some stored descriptions of the visual properties of faces you know and you access some knowledge you have about a person > eg their name.

Q

what is associative prosopagnosia?

A

impaired face memory (issue with stored descriptions of faces model) < faces look okay but patients because their stored knowledge is disrupted, the faces just don’t appear to be familiar to them.

Q

identify ways of resolving TOT states?

A

1) someones initals will help resolve TOT states, showing a face wont help as their is no direct link between FACE RECOGNITION UNIT and NAMES in model.

Q

identify a common double dissociation found In neurological patients suffering from prosopagnosia?

A

prosopagnosics can often do expressions ( can recognize expression judgements) , opposite pattern also found ( people unable to make expressions judegments) but can tell you the identity of the person.

Q

different representations are involved in face and object recognition…. explain?

A 
objects = parts based, faces= configural/holistic
objects = edges , faces = surface properties
30
Q

according to YIN, 1969, face recognition dissproporitionately impaired by?

A

inversion

31
Q

face recognition may involve?

A

configuration of features aswell as features themselves.

32
Q

it is significantly slower to name composite than non-composite stimuli…..TRUE OR FALSE

A

TRUE

33
Q

with reference to composite effects, what interfered with the identification of constituent parts?

A

perception of a novel face configuration

34
Q

trying to recognise a composite face forms what?

A

a new configuration of features < makes it difficult to extract the identity of either the top or bottom half.

35
Q

evidence suggests that upright, normal faces are represented…

A

configurally

36
Q

what impairs configural processing?

A

when faces are inverted

37
Q

configural processing is not as important when?

A

in object recognition

38
Q

Biedermans geons specificed by edges can be obtained from where?

A

primal sketch

39
Q

what plays no role in defining geons?

A

surface characteristics

40
Q

in what way do faces preserve surface characteristics?

A

pigmentation, shading

41
Q

identify a way of disrupting peoples ability to identify the faces?

A

simply negating faces and inverting ( similar effects)

42
Q

presenting a face in which form is really disruptive?

A

in photographic negative

43
Q

identify the 2 sources of information adversely affected by negation?

A

pigmentation > skin and hair colour and variations in these

2) pattern of shading and shadows which may help specify 3D structures of the face

44
Q

line drawings are difficult to recognize unless …

A

information about pigmentation and/or shading is preserved

45
Q

representations mediating face recognition preserve…

A

surface information

46
Q

surfaces (pigmentation and shading ) is more important for?

A

faces than objects

47
Q

faces are….

A

more than the sum of their parts, whereas, object recognition is part based.

48
Q

what is the expertise hypothesis?

A

face recognition is special only because it involves a task of within-category recognition at which we are all experts.

49
Q

diamond and carey, 1986, hypothesised that inversion can…

A

affect recognition of dogs by dog show judges

50
Q

changing the location of face features of the features on greebles does what?

A

makes them harder to recognise

51
Q

‘experts with greebles’ are more susceptible to?

A

effects of inversion and negation than novices ( gauther et all 1998) CHECK PRINTED NOTES NOW

52
Q

many prosopagnosias are disrupted at?

A

other within-category discriminations but not all, others can do some within-category discriminations.

53
Q

prosopagnosia may not just be a face-specific disorder < explain?

A

it affects ability to make within-category discriminations.

54
Q

faces are special?

A

true

55
Q

devlin 1976 reported?

A

no conviction should be based on eyewitness ID alone, if conviction rests substantially on ID, jury should be cautioned to risk of error.

56
Q

what is the innocence project?

A

individuals who were wrongfully convicted and DNA evidence exonerated them

57
Q

what if DNA is contaminated or not available?

A

eye witness testimony carries a great deal of weight with jurors, particiualry where witness is confident.

58
Q

give a reason as to why people are so confident with eyewitness testimonys>

A

impressive picture memory

59
Q

eyewitness memory for unfamiliar faces is said to be

A

poor

60
Q

processes/representations involved in familiar/unfamiliar face recognition….

A

are different

61
Q

what are estimator variables and identify some?

A

these affect accuracy of identifications but can NOT be controlled by the justice system, tend to revolve around other factors such as….individual differences, other race effect, in group biases, delay, confidence, stress, duration of encounter, quality of witness description.

62
Q

estimator variables contrast with

A

system variables

63
Q

identify and explain system variables

A

justice system can control and these are often the influence of the retrieval stage of information : linup composition, prior exposure to mugshots, target absent warnings, sequential vs simultaneous lineups, moving vs static lineups, double blind procedure

64
Q

difficulty with matching faces from CCTV/PHOTOS/VIDEOS ect…

A

difficulties matching other race faces, check notes

65
Q

how is a composite created?

A

from memory of an unfamiliar face. it is produced following a traumatic experience and will contain inaccuracies.

66
Q

what are photofit facial composites…

A

using witness accounts to create a photofit for most like criminal

67
Q

why are photofit so bad?

A

featural facial composities, produces poor likeliness of targets, constructing photofit from memory is difficult and produces poor results.

68
Q

the evofit system?

A

evolving a likeliness via various combination rounds of faces < current system used by many police forces, check notes.

69
Q

identify ways of improving photofit/composite/id methods

A

use holistic systems and exploit resemblance (evofit ect), better ways to tap memory (cognitive interview, holistic interview or both), morph composites from separate witnesses. blur external features, split composites to disrupt configural processing.

70
Q

why are composites so poor?

A

verbal mediation, feature-based construction, created from memory so inaccuracies, differential focus on external and internal features of unfamiliar witness and familiar composite “recogniser”

71
Q

explain ‘blurring features’

A

witnesses are unfamiliar with face they are trying to recall, external features are important in unfamiliar face recognition, those trying to name composites will be familiar with the faces and internal features relatively more important for familiar faces

72
Q

what is split composites?

A

producing a composite from memory so it will contain inaccuracies. CHECK PRINTED NOTES
