Comparing Bruce And Young's Cognitive Study

Another common and inappropriate use of facial recognition technology exists in many social media platforms and systems. In the current social media domain, when you post or are tagged in a photo, you are, in essence, saying goodbye to anonymity and the right to privacy that we value socially and culturally. Photos from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram can all be used online to create an unintended profile: your “face print”. Using this “face print”,

Facial recognition is a technological product of the digital age that is continuing to evolve. The efficiency of the technology is an asset to crime detectives apprehending criminals, or the government tracking suspected terrorists for the safety of the country. It can also be used on a corporate level to allow a business to understand their ideal customer, or to increase the intractability of their website. While these abilities are positives to the people using them, the data collection may be harming more than it is helping. Considering the benefits of facial recognition, it is important for people to see what they are giving up for a more efficient experience. Facial recognition technology forces users to relinquish control of their own

In the present contemporary era, facial recognition technologies are being installed by the companies in an extensive sense that surely reflects a continuum of growing hi-tech superiority and complexity. At the most ordinary level, facial detection is done by this technology which means that a photo is just detected and located for a face ("Facing Facts: Best Practices for Common Uses of Facial Recognition Technologies," 2012).

Secondly, face recognition units contain stored descriptions of known faces. When a familiar face is seen, face recognition units send signals to cognitive system and active person identity nodes. Person identity nodes allow access to semantic information about the person. The impairment

Lindsay and Wells (1985) proposed that SEQ is far more superior than SIM as it showed a significantly higher reduction of false identification rates (false alarm rate) in the target-absent trial, known as the sequential-superiority effect. This can be explained by the signal detection theory (SDT). SDT measures an individual’s decision-making performance into two categories – discrimination accuracy (the individual’s ability to distinguish between hits and false alarms) and response criterion (strength of evidence before a hit can be registered) (Meissner et al., 2005). In lineup procedures, the level of response criterions is associated with information that is encoded unconsciously in the brain (familiarity). In a SIM lineup, familiarity is relied upon more when faces are presented at the same time and any lineup member that exceeds the criterion threshold and matches the

Are faces special? Critically evaluate the evidence that we have evolved a specialised neural network dedicated to processing faces. Brian Marron, 11461992, SF TSM.

The face recognition model developed by Bruce and Young has eight key parts and it suggests how we process familiar and unfamiliar faces, including facial expressions. The diagram below shows how these parts are interconnected. Structural encoding is where facial features and expressions are encoded. This information is translated at the same time, down two different pathways, to various units. One being expression analysis, where the emotional state of the person is shown by facial features. By using facial speech analysis we can process auditory information. This was shown by McGurk (1976) who created two video clips, one with lip movements indicating 'Ba' and other indicating 'Fa'. Both clips had the sound 'Ba' played over the clip.

Recognizing distortions of a human face can be caused by early visual experience (Maurer, Grand & Mondloch, 2001). Looking at a countless number of people’s faces at a young age impacts greatly on how young children detect what a face is supposed to look like and to recognize a person, such as a family member. However, it is not just early visual experience that impacts facial recognition, there is a lot of behavior evidence that proves that facial configuration is important for recognition as well as computational investigations. Computational investigations are ambiguous to the fact that second-order relation contains characteristic information. They indicate that configural information is a key aspect of the facial identification signature and can be dispensed with, with minimum loss of performance (Balas & Sinha, 2007). This research is very important because it helps everyone figure out whether configural processing is unique to faces. My hypothesis is that the inverted faces are hard for people to pinpoint what the picture is and that children are not as good at face configuration as adults

In the no image condition participants encoded faces and names as separate units. For the image condition subjects formed visual image associations

Overly, the model provides coherent explanation of many kind of information about faces and how they relate to each other. It provides evidence about significant differences in processing of familiar and unfamiliar faces. Nonetheless there are limitations. For instance, there is not enough information about processing unfamiliar faces. Burton et al. (1999)

Prosopagnosia is defined as the difficulty in recognizing an individuals face; it is broken down into 3 main types; Apperceptive prosopagnosia, associative prosopagnosia and developmental prosopagnosia. Perception is an important aspect when recognizing faces, without recognizing the stimulus (face) you would not be able to identify a person. Therefore the individuals who sufferer from this disorder is unable to accurately recognize a face whether that be the face of a familiar person such as a family member or close friend, the face of a famous person, or even their own face. This paper will look at prosopagnosia in greater detail, it will explain the 3 main types, as well as give insight as to why face recognition is important in our

Some of the patients reported that they had traumatic social interaction difficulties. Failure in face recognition might cause them to feel anxious about offending people which in the end create feelings of guilt and embarrassment. The problems associated with interpersonal relationships restrict their social circle (Yardley, L., 2008). Up until now, there is no cure to prosopagnosia. However, compensatory strategies are one of the therapies that may help them improve their daily social interactions as well as communications. Since recognition is a learning process, patient can develop their ability to identify ones identity by using alternative cues in terms of non-facial features such as voice, hair colour, clothing, body style or any unique physical

Facial recognition is a technology that recognizes individuals by comparing facial characteristics and specific patterns thus mimicking the function of human brain. It measures the overall facial structure, including distance between eyes, nose, mouth, and jaw edges (1). These measurements are than stored in a database for future use. As the cost of facial recognition software has decreased, its use has grown popular in different fields.

Humphreys and Bruce (1989) proposed a model of object recognition that fits a wider context of cognition. According to them, the recognition of objects occurs in a series of stages. First, sensory input is generated, leading to perceptual classification, where the information is compared with previously stored descriptions of objects. Then, the object is recognized and can be semantically classified and subsequently named. This approach is, however, over-simplified. Other theories like Marr and Nishihara’s and Biederman’s

Although some critiques can be made, the experiment overall was well structured and the scientists was able to gather good evidence. The authors agreed that the mechanism that is associated with the implicit recognition is different from the recognition awareness. The scientists had the participants take a forced-choice test for a second time after they had looked at the kaleidoscope images. By doing another experiment using the same technique, they are giving a variety of stimiulus that could reaffirm the correlation that they are trying to make.
