Drawing on the most recent research in the field, and organised around the three main research perspectives - psychological, neuropsychological, and applied - it provides insights on issues of relevance to students from a wide range of disciplines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFace recognition and expression perception have generated a large amount of research over the last decade, and with high profile media coverage of related issues, such as the misidentification of Brazilian student, Jean Charles de Menezes, face processing is a hot topic within the study of psychology. \u003cem\u003eFace Processing\u003c\/em\u003e captures the excitement in the field, and with reference to a wealth of studies and real-world phenomena, it reveals how our understanding of face processing has developed over the years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first section of the book, on the psychological perspectives of face processing, considers how we are able to recognise familiar faces; how we can extract information such as emotion, sex and age from a face; and how face processing abilities develop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second section covers the neuropsychological perspectives, and examines the disorders of face recognition that arise following brain injury, and asks whether faces are a 'special' class of visual stimuli. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinally, a section on the applied perspectives of face processing describes face reconstruction systems, such as Identikit and Photofit, and their limitations; it discusses methods of constructing facial composites, and the phenomenon of 'verbal overshadowing', whereby verbal descriptions of visual stimuli subsequently leads to a temporary impairment in people's ability to recognise those stimuli. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book is the perfect resource for students studying face processing as part of a psychology degree, and the breadth of its coverage makes it of relevance to computer science students, medical students with an interest in neurology, and students of forensic science, too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnline Resource Centre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Online Resource Centre to accompany \u003cem\u003eFace Processing: psychological, neuropsychological, and applied perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e features the following resources for lecturers and students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor registered adopters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFigures from the book available to download \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor students\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHyperlinks to primary literature articles\u003cbr\u003eWeb link library","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47581654810775,"sku":"9780199235704","price":6584.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199235704.webp?v=1774920674","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/face-processing-psychological-neuropsychological-and-applied-perspectives-9780199235704","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
