{"pk":27420,"title":"Facial Motor Information is Sufficient for Identity Recognition","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The face is a central communication channel providing infor-mation about the identities of our interaction partners and theirpotential mental states expressed by motor configurations. Al-though it is well known that infants ability to recognise peoplefollows a developmental process, it is still an open questionhow face identity recognition skills can develop and, in par-ticular, how facial expression and identity processing poten-tially interact during this developmental process. We proposethat by acquiring information of the facial motor configurationobserved from face stimuli encountered throughout develop-ment would be sufficient to develop a face-space representa-tion. This representation encodes the observed face stimuli aspoints of a multidimensional psychological space able to as-sist facial identity and expression recognition. We validate ourhypothesis through computational simulations and we suggestpotential implications of this understanding with respect to theavailable findings in face processing.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"face perception; face processing; face-space; faceidentity processing; face expression processing; mirroring"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/18d8w4jx","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jonathan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Vitale","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Technology Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Benjamin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Johnston","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Technology Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Mary-Anne","middle_name":"","last_name":"Williams","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Technology Sydney","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27420/galley/17056/download/"}]}
