Abstract
Focusing on disorders, Bate unravels the mysteries and intricacies of facial processing from a new perspective, covering cognitive, developmental and clinical issues. Written in an engaging style and encompassing a wealth of detail, this is a must-read for both students and researchers interested in facial recognition.
Sarah Bate is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Bournemouth University, UK. Her doctoral thesis examined face processing impairments in developmental prosopagnosia (faceblindness), and she has continued this work into her postdoctoral research career.
"Sarah Bate has written a truly captivating account of the disorders of face processing. A great new resource for researchers and students in cognitive, developmental, neuro- and clinical psychology with an interest in face perception." – Dr Markus Bindemann, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Kent, UK
"This is an excellent introduction to the topic; I've learned a lot from it and it will become my reference text. The structure will make it especially accessible to students new to the field." – Professor Peter Hancock, Psychology, University of Stirling, UK
"Well written and detailed text that will provide a nice addition to the literature. This book should be of interest to face perception researchers and their students." – Dr Karen Lander, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Manchester, UK
