Representations of individual faces evolve with experience to support progressively more robust recognition. Knowledge of three-dimensional face structure is required to predict an image of a face as illumination and viewpoint change. Robust recognition across such transformations can be achieved with representations based on multiple two-dimensional views, three-dimensional structure, or both. We used face-identity adaptation in a familiarization paradigm to address a long-standing controversy…

Face-Specific Perceptual Distortions Reveal A View- and Orientation-Independent Face Template
The Role of Familiarity on Viewpoint Adaptation for Self-Face and Other-Face Images
TLDR
An adaptation method was used to investigate whether self-face processing is dissociable from general face processing, and it was found that the magnitude of the viewpoint aftereffect depends on the level of familiarity of the adapting and test faces, and learning affects the processing of the self- face in greater measure than any other category of faces.
Three-dimensional information in face recognition: an eye-tracking study.
TLDR
The findings support the conclusion that face recognition across viewpoint transformation is facilitated by the addition of stereoscopic depth cues.
Not just the norm: Exemplar-based models also predict face aftereffects
TLDR
Simulations of norm and exemplar models in face adaptation paradigms revealed that both an exemplar-based model and a version of a two-pool norm- based model, but not a traditional norm-based models, predict face identity aftereffects following face adaptation.
Are face representations depth cue invariant?
TLDR
The results suggest that depth cues do contribute to forming meaningful face representations that are depth cue invariant, and this in turn has important implications for cortical models of visual object recognition.
Identity-specific face adaptation effects: Evidence for abstractive face representations
Horizontal Information Drives the Behavioral Signatures of Face Processing
TLDR
It is concluded that preferential processing of horizontal information is a central feature of human face processing that supports many of the behavioral signatures of this critical visual operation.
Supporting face familiarization using perceptual and engineering frameworks
The identification of unfamiliar faces is known to be inferior to the recognition of faces with which we are familiar. This can lead to undesirable consequences such as misidentification. However,…
The Effect of Familiarity on Face Adaptation
TLDR
The results highlight the importance of considering facial familiarity when conducting research on face aftereffects and suggest that robustly represented (highly familiar) faces are important for adaptation effects to be considered.

Probing the Visual Representation of Faces With Adaptation
TLDR
It is demonstrated that face adaptation transfers across a substantial change in viewpoint and that this transfer occurs via processes unlikely to be specific to faces, and the visual codes underlying face recognition are probed using face morphs that varied selectively in reflectance or shape.

TLDR
It is argued that a multidimensional space provides a useful heuristic framework to investigate recognition of faces and that a norm-based coding version and the exemplar-based version of the framework cannot be distinguished on the basis of the experiments reported.

TLDR
The results suggest that the human visual system is better described as recognizing these objects by two-dimensional view interpolation than by alignment or other methods that rely on object-centered three-dimensional models.
View-specific coding of face shape.
TLDR
Results provide strong evidence that face-shape coding is view-specific, and rule out low-level adaptation as an explanation.
Face adaptation: Changing stable representations of familiar faces within minutes?
Three experiments are reported showing that the perception and the assessment of veridicality of familiar faces are highly adaptive to new visual information. Subjects were asked to discriminate…
Face recognition based on frontal views generated from non-frontal images
TLDR
The algorithm used to preprocess the images in FRVT 2002 is explained, additional FRVT2002 results are presented, and these results to recognition from the model coefficients are compared.
Prototype-referenced shape encoding revealed by high-level aftereffects
TLDR
It is found that exposure to an individual face for a few seconds generated a significant and precise bias in the subsequent perception of face identity, suggesting that the encoding of faces and other complex patterns draws upon contrastive neural mechanisms that reference the central tendency of the stimulus category.
