人文科学研究所公開研究会開催のお知らせ（「視覚と認知の発達」チーム）

講　 師：   Jamaes Tanaka 氏 (ビクトリア大学心理学部教授)

テーマ ：   From Milliseconds to Decades: The Creation and Retrieval of

　　　　　 Holistic Face Memories

要　 旨：  

All human faces are created equal. We all share the same face
parts (two eyes, a nose, and a mouth) arranged in a similar
spatial configuration. Despite the perceptual similarity of
faces, we are able to recognize the face of a friend,
significant other, or colleague in a blink of an eye. How is
this impressive feat of visual recognition accomplished?
Faces, unlike most objects, are encoded and retrieved as
holistic memories. In my talk, I will discuss what a holistic
face memory is. I will examine recent work in our lab
suggesting that holistic face representations are formed in
milliseconds and produce memories that can last a lifetime.
This research has implications for understanding how
experience shapes the recognition of own- and other-race
faces and how breakdowns in face recognition occur in autism
and prosopagnosia.
