Investigating the processing style account of the effects of Naval processing on face recognition performance
Engaging in Navon processing prior to face recognition influences recognition performance (Macrae & Lewis, 2002; Perfect, 2003; Weston & Perfect, 2005). Past research has shown that global Navon processing can improve face recognition accuracy whereas local Navon processing impairs it. One …
