Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Nancy Kanwisher (1997)Identified the FFA (Fusiform Face Area).
- 2FFA (Fusiform Face Area)Area outside of the visual cortex that lets us recognize faces. Bypasses the usual interpretation channels to identify faces more quickly than objects.
- 3AmygdalaThe brain's emotional center. Located near the FFA.
- 4Karen Pierce (2001)Was able to show autistic people identify faces the same way as objects, with regular pathways, instead of the FFA.
- 5Emotional ConnectionA face is looking right at the user (on a webpage). It has more of an emotional impact on the viewer.
- 6Direct AttentionA face is looking directly at a product, which makes us look at it. Though we may not pay attention to it, we see it.
- 7Catherine Mondloch (with others) (1999)Used research to show newborns that are less than an hour old have a preference of looking at something with facial features.
- 8Christine Looser and T. Wheatley (2010)Created a study with morphing images of a face into a mannequin face. Most people thought the face didn't look real around the 75% mark by looking at the eyes.
