The role of exploratory action in face encoding (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, C., & Ward, J. The role of exploratory action in face encoding

Research on face recognition has mainly relied on methods where observers are relatively passive viewers of face stimuli. We investigated whether active exploration of 3-D face stimuli could facilitate recognition performance. A yoked design was empl... Read More about The role of exploratory action in face encoding.
