Perceiving a face : a dual-process model account.

The paper reviewed recent findings on face recognition across cognitive- and social-based studies, and compared existing models of face recognition. Identifying a need for a more general model, dual-process model of face recognition was proposed. The model suggests automatic process and controlled...
