Thatcher's children: development and the Thatcher illusion.
Children do not show the same recognition disadvantage for inverted faces as adults do. It has been suggested that this is because the configural encoding (which is disrupted by inversion) becomes more useful or available as we get older. The distinction between configural processing and featural processing, however, is not always clear--it may be a dichotomy or a continuum. The perceived norma...
متن کاملThe Thatcher illusion in humans and monkeys.
Primates possess the remarkable ability to differentiate faces of group members and to extract relevant information about the individual directly from the face. Recognition of conspecific faces is achieved by means of holistic processing, i.e. the processing of the face as an unparsed, perceptual whole, rather than as the collection of independent features (part-based processing). The most stri...
متن کاملDependency and (R)MRS
Note: for current purposes, this document lacks a proper introduction, in that it assumes readers know about MRS and RMRS. The MRS and RMRS languages are successful in allowing grammar writers to construct underspecified compositional semantics for a variety of languages. They can be used with feature structure formalisms, but also in a separate semantic module with other styles of syntax. RMRS...
متن کاملThe Thatcher illusion and face processing in infancy.
Adults readily detect changes in face patterns brought about by the inversion of eyes and mouth when the faces are viewed upright but not when they are viewed upside down. Research suggests that this illusion (the Thatcher illusion) is caused by the interfering effects of face inversion on the processing of second-order relational information (fine spatial information such as the distance betwe...
متن کامل1H-MRS metabolites in adults with Down syndrome: Effects of dementia
To determine if proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) detect differences in dementia status in adults with Down syndrome (DS), we used (1)H-MRS to measure neuronal and glial metabolites in the posterior cingulate cortex in 22 adults with DS and in 15 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. We evaluated associations between (1)H-MRS results and cognition among DS participants. Neur...
