Document Summary
Evolved mechanisms for perceiving faces (e. g. an innate face template: visual deprivation at 2 - 6 months due to visual cataracts results in permanent deficits in holistic face processing. Removal of congenital cataracts in infancy reveals specific visual deprivation. Infant appear to recover completely the following visual abilities. Face recognition based on external contour or shape of internal features. Visual deprivation in infancy: removal of congenital cataracts. Infants show permanent deficits in the following visual abilities. Recognition of face processing based on feature spacing. Face recognition, in contrast, does not depend on an inventory of a face"s parts; instead, this recognition seems to depend on holistic perception of the face. Similar levels of errors and response times for same responses to both aligned and misaligned faces: normally developing children. Make more errors and have slower same responses for aligned faces because . They cannot turn off holistic processing (cant turn off looking at things in a whole)
