Zusatztext It is unparalleled in terms of sheer breadth and depth ... As both a useful "bible" for important results and a library of sorts for methodological approaches, my laboratory's copy of the Handbook is likely to see a great deal of use. Informationen zum Autor Andy Calder, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge;Gillian Rhodes, School of Psychology, University of Western Australia;Mark Johnson, Department of Psychology, Birkbeck College, University of London;Jim Haxby, Dartmouth College, USA Klappentext In the past thirty years, face perception has become an area of major interest within psychology, with a rapidly expanding research base. The Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the most comprehensive and commanding review of the field ever published. It looks at the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the perception, representation, and interpretation of facial characteristics, such as identity, expression, eye gaze, attractiveness, personality, and race. It examines the development of these processes, their neural correlates in both human and non-human primates, congenital and acquired disorders resulting from their breakdown, and the theoretical and computational frameworks for their underlying mechanisms. For anyone looking for the definitive review of this burgeoning field, the Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the essential book. It is unparalleled in terms of sheer breadth and depth ...
