Face Recognition
Description
Most of us are able to identify people we've met before and to pick out friends from among a group of strangers simply by scanning their faces. What cognitive processes allow us to do this? What goes on in the brain when we struggle to match a name to a face? And why are some people unable to remember the faces of individuals at all? This program explores facial perception and prosopagnosia, a condition in which the ability to recognize what should be familiar faces is impaired. With commentary from renown prosopagnosia researcher Dr. Vicki Bruce, the video covers facial recognition, reading faces, facial blindness, and the Bruce-Young model of face perception.
