The use of 3D information in face recognition (2005)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H., & Ward, J. (2006). The use of 3D information in face recognition. Vision Research, 46(6-7), 768-773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2005.10.008

Effects of shading in face recognition have often alluded to 3D shape processing. However, research to date has failed to demonstrate any use of important 3D information. Stereopsis adds no advantage in face encoding [Liu, C. H., Ward, J., & Young,... Read More about The use of 3D information in face recognition.

Pigeons received a discrimination in which the spatial relationship between 2 adjacent rectangles filled with different colors signaled the trial outcome. Test trials then involved the same rectangles separated horizontally by a gap. The tests in Exp... Read More about The discrimination of structure: III. Representation of spatial relationships..
