Individual Differences in Serial Dependence of Facial Identity are Associated with Face Recognition Abilities.
TL;DR: The extent to which serial dependence is used selectively for similar faces is important to face recognition is suggested, and tuning is found to be a significant predictor of face recognition abilities independently of both object recognition and face identity aftereffects.
View-Specific Coding of Face Shape
TL;DR: Results provide strong evidence that face-shape coding is view-specific, and rule out low-level adaptation as an explanation.
Sex-specific norms code face identity.

TL;DR: Identity aftereffects are generally larger for adapt-test pairs that lie opposite an average face, which functions as a norm for coding identity, than those that do not, and the use of category-specific norms may increase coding efficiency and help us discriminate thousands of faces despite their similarity as patterns.
Reduced adaptability, but no fundamental disruption, of norm-based face coding following early visual deprivation from congenital cataracts
TL;DR: It is suggested that early visual experience is important for the normal development of adaptive face-coding mechanisms, and reduced adaptability but no fundamental disruption of norm-based face- coding mechanisms in cataract-reversal patients are found.
Assessing early processing of eye gaze in schizophrenia: measuring the cone of direct gaze and reflexive orienting of attention
Kiley Seymour,Kiley Seymour,Gillian Rhodes,Jonathan McGuire,Nikolas Williams,Linda Jeffery,Robyn Langdon +6 more
TL;DR: Early stages of gaze processing in schizophrenia are investigated by measuring perceptual sensitivity to fine deviations in gaze direction and ability to reflexively orient to locations cued by the same deviations, suggesting that while patients may suffer deficits associated with interpreting another person's gaze, the earliest processes concerned with detecting averted gaze and reflexively Orienting to the gazed-at location are intact.
