Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Several recent findings revealed that face recognition depends on configural and surface-based processing and that face recognition is highly expertised process. Inversion selectively disrupts the configural processing, and negation selectively disrupts the surface processing. Experiment 1 examined the selective disruption of configural processing by negation, but revealed that negation equally disrupts feature and configural processing. Experiment 2 compared the size of negation effect between own- and other-race faces and revealed that own-race face recognition was more disrupted by negation. These findings suggested the independence of the configural and surface coding and the important role of expertise on the surface coding as well as configural coding.
