Each of us is able to recognise the faces of many hundreds if not
thousands of people known to us. We recognise faces despite seeing
them in different views and with changing expressions. From these
varying patterns we somehow extract the invariant characteristics
of an individual's face, and usually remember why a face seems
familiar, recalling where we know the person from and what they are
called. In this book, originally published in 1988, the author
describes the progress which has been made by psychologists towards
understanding these perceptual and cognitive processes, and points
to theoretical directions which may prove important in the future.
Though emphasising theory, the book also addresses practical
problems of eyewitness testimony, and discusses the relationship
between recognising faces, and other aspects of face processing
such as perceiving expressions and lipreading. The book was aimed
primarily at a research audience, but would also interest advanced
undergraduate students in vision and cognition.
