Holistic Processing of Verbal and Non-Verbal Information in Single Integrated Visual Objects
The present work examined how holistic, conceptual processing could be achieved by meaningfully integrating verbal and non-verbal information into a single visual object, which would allow simultaneous, complementary encoding of both dimensions. The main interest of the current work was in the …

Featural and holistic processing in facial composite construction: the role of cognitive style and processing sets
… whether manipulating the temporary cognitive processing state of individuals during face encoding and prior to facial composite construction affects the accuracy of the facial composites they produce. These issues were investigated using two facial composite construction systems currently in …

Face Processing Strategies in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… aim of this thesis was to investigate the face processing strategies of children with high-functioning autism. Based on the assumptions that face processing relies on holistic, configural and featural information processing of faces, and on previous findings that individuals with autism show …

Cortical Processing of Visual Parts and Wholes
… between two distinct levels of object processing: holistic, based on global shape, and configural, based on local features and/or component parts. Empirical evidence suggests that different cortical regions may support these levels; holistic processing correlates with activation in the …

Running head featural composites and lineups: "What big teeth you have" - Red Riding Hood and the face recognition failure : the effects of isolated featural and configural composite construction and recognition accuracy
… which is in opposition to configural and holistic processing that is used when faces are encoded.

Other-race faces : limitations of expert face recognition /
… of the same race). Adults process own-race faces holistically (Le., as a gestalt) and are exquisitely sensitive to small differences among faces in the spacing of features, the shape of individual features and the outline or contour of the face (Maurer, Le Grand, & Mondloch, 2002), however this …

The effects of multitasking and mood on ad memory: in the case of a competitive ad context
… studies have examined how mood triggered holistic and analytic processing styles, and how processing style interacted with multitasking to influence ad memory. However, no previous study had examined these interactive effects in a competitive ad context. The results showed that, while …

The role of expertise, semantics, and learning in spatial memory
… capacity has been implicated in the exclusive processing of multiple objects. Accordingly, the aim of this thesis is to explore possible methods that enhance cognitive capacity in a way to overcome exclusivity. These methods include expertise, semantics and learning. It was proposed that …

A neuroscientific and cognitive examination of individual differences in face recognition ability
There are large individual differences in face processing ability, with Super-Recognisers (SRs) being exceptionally superior to individuals with average face recognition ability. This thesis describes seven experiments examining SRs’ cognitive performance as well as neural/electrical activity in …

Theoretical and real-world applications of superior face recognition.
… group, they consistently show enhanced holistic processing. A second set of studies examined the eye-movements of SRs in a standard face memory task and a more ecologically valid free-viewing task. In both experiments SRs spent more time looking at the nose (i.e. the centre of faces) …

Cross-cultural recommender system use and design
… and differences in information processing influence consumer behavior in the recommendation system used from both within and between-cultures perspective (e.g., individual-level and national culture). Consumers hailing from collectivistic cultures (e.g., China) and those who …

Quantitative determinants of prefabs: A corpus-based, experimental study of multiword units in the lexicon
… (Pinker 1999), instead arguing that language processing relies on a large number of preassembled multiword units, or 'prefabs' (Bolinger 1976). A usage-based perspective predicts that linguistic units, including prefabs, arise via repeated use, and prefabs should thus be associated with the …

Intermediate Level Mechanisms Supporting Face Perception
… intermediate neural mechanisms involved in face processing may be better understood by studying concentric form-from-structure integration. This dissertation involves behavioral adaptation and masking experiments that provide evidence regarding whether face perception and concentric …
