Exploring Brain Mechanisms Underlying Individual Differences in the Effect of Acquired Familiarity on Face Learning and Generalization

Predicting Performances on Processing and Memorizing East Asian Faces from Brain Activities in Face-Selective Regions: A Neurocomputational Approach

“…Most important and somewhat surprising, holistic processing captured by the component task and its inversion effect, entailing subtle spatial relationship between local facial features and landmarks, may underlie face memory performance for both younger and older adults in Taiwan . Taken together, besides showing distinct styles or strategies between younger and older adults in coping with the specific demands of each face-processing task, Cheng Y. -H. et al's (2016) findings suggest that both young and older participants appeared to rely on the same aspects of holistic and non-holistic processing revealed by the component task, for encoding and later retrieving memory for faces.…”

“…We then selected 19 regions, listed in Table 3 , that have been identified by the past literature as playing some roles in the various aspects of face processing and face memory. The ROIs and their coordinates were based on two previous studies from our lab using the same dynamic localizers as in the present study for locating brain areas exhibiting face selectivity regions (Cheng P. K.-H. et al, 2016 ; Chen et al, 2017 ). Using the MarsBar tool for SPM 1 , we built each ROI by first defining the centroid of the sphere with 19 coordinates.…”
