Neural network models
Nodes - processing units used to abstractly represent elements such as features, letters, and words
Links, or connections between nodes Activation - excitation or inhibition that
spreads from one node to another

Interactive Activation Model of the word superiority effect (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981)

James Cattell, 1886: Word superiority effect (Reicher, 1969; Cattell, 1886)
Subjects recognized flashed words more accurately than flashed letters.
He proposed a word shape model.

Evidence for word shape model:
Word superiority effect Lowercase text is read faster than uppercase. Proofreading errors tend to be consistent
with word shape.

Perception and Pattern Recognition III:
Faces
![Page 14: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How do people recognize faces? Consider these types of theories:
Template theories Feature theories Structure theories Prototype theories
![Page 15: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Feature theories
Patterns are represented in memory by their parts.
In perception, the parts are first recognized and then assembled into a meaningful pattern.
Piecemeal (as opposed to holistic)
![Page 16: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are the distinctive features for faces ?
Eyes, nose, mouth - NOT!
![Page 17: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What are the distinctive features for faces ?
Eyes, nose, mouth - NOT!
Revisit Eleanor Gibson’s criteria: Each feature should be present in some patterns and
absent in others A feature should be invariant (unchanged) for all
instances of a particular pattern Each pattern has a unique combination of features The number of features should be fairly small
A set of features is evaluated by how well it can predict perceptual confusions.

Inspiration: Caricatures
“More like the face than the face itself” What are the distinctive features of a
face - say, Richard Nixon’s??? Ski jump nose Jowly face Curly-textured hair Receding bays in hairline Boxy chin (David Perkins, 1975)
![Page 21: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Revisit: Problems w/ feature theories
How to determine the right set of features?
What about the relationships between features?
What if all the features are present in the pattern, but scrambled?
Features theories predict: No problem!
(and that’s the problem.)

Face recognition is holistic
(Tanaka & Farah, 1993)
![Page 24: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Structure theories
Build on feature theories Patterns are represented in memory by
features AND by the relations between them.
Holistic The context of the pattern plays an
important role in pattern recognition.

A structure theory: RBC (Biederman)
Recognition by Components Geons: simple volumes (~35 of them) Construct objects by combining geons
![Page 26: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
RBC Theory
Analyze an object into geons Determine relations among the geons The relation among geons is critical!
![Page 27: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RBC Theory
It’s hard to recognize an object without the information about relations among geons.
Hard!
![Page 28: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RBC Theory

Easier!

RBC Theory
Basic properties of Geons View invariance Discriminability Resistance to visual noise

RBC Theory - Problems
Explains how people distinguish categories of objects (types) - like cups vs. briefcases. But how do people distinguish individual objects (tokens) that come from the same category (like faces)??
Neurons are to tuned respond to much smaller elements than those represented by geons!

We don’t need much information to recognize a familiar face.

Why is face recognition so interesting?
It’s important! Faces are highly similar to one another. Yet we’re really good at it: we can tell an
astounding number of faces apart. Not all facial information is created equal. Could machines ever do as well as people?
Or even better? Are faces somehow “special”?

Margaret Thatcher effect

Why?
The configural processing hypothesis:
When faces are inverted, the relationships among features are disturbed.
So we don’t notice the odd configuration in the Thatcher illusion.
(Bartlett & Searcy, 1993)

Familiar vs. unfamiliar faces
“Attribute Checking Theory” A feature theory For familiar faces, internal features seem
to be more important than outside features. For new faces, we pay more attention to
outside features (hair, face shape, etc.)
(Bradshaw & Wallace)

Children recognize faces differently than adults do.
Children under 10 use transient features to distinguish unfamiliar faces. Strangers wearing the same hat seem
similar, and are confusable.
(Susan Carey)

(Harmon, 1973)

Problem:
Identikit: piecemeal, featural Photo methods: Introduce interference, bias Lineup: when the perpetrator is not present,
20-40% of witnesses select someone anyway. With photos and lineups, witnesses compare
the suspects and choose the most similar one False convictions often have eyewitness
testimony as the strongest evidence in the
![Page 61: Psy 260 Announcements](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568146f8550346895db42ed6/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The right way to do a lineup:
“Showup” - view suspects or pictures one at a time, ideally only once
If multiple viewings, then view each one the same number of times, always in random order (avoid between-suspect comparisons)
The one showing the faces must be blind to whom law enforcement believes suspect is
(Otherwise, impossible to avoid bias) Then false IDs drop to 10%.

What about a structural theory of face recognition?
Pro: The relationships between features are very important.
Pro: We often fail to recognize a familiar face when we see it out of context.
Con: A structural theory doesn’t explain how we can distinguish so many highly similar, individual tokens.
(Moving right along: A prototype theory

Prototype This works! (but maybe not for unfamiliar faces and not
for kids)

Is face recognition “special”?
No! There are other classes of patterns for
which people can distinguish huge numbers of individuals (tokens). Ornithologists recognize individual birds New England Kennel Club judges
recognize individual dogs There is even prosopagnosia for things
other than faces!
