Hello everyone,

I just joined this list, and found no messages yet, so thought maybe those
of us who sign up might introduce ourselves.

I've been working on faces since 1974, when Hadyn Ellis told me to stop
messing about with Piagetian psychology and do something more interesting.
 I reckon that now makes me one of those who has been doing this stuff for
longer than most, and Hadyn was right -  it has got more and more
interesting over the years.

Thanks to Peter for starting this list, which I hope will be very useful
to us all.

Cheers,

Andy Young (sadly, now a misnomer).

Hello Everyone

I thought Andy's suggest was great, that we introduce ourselves and our interest in face perception when we join this new list - thanks for setting it up Peter.


I completed my PhD on face perception in Williams syndrome and Autism in the Faces Lab at Stirling University in 2007. I was supervised by Vicki Bruce and Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon. I then worked with Peter Hancock on an ESRC grant that we held exploring attention to faces in these two neuro-developmental disorders.

Since March 2008 (exactly 3 years ago today!!) I have been a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Newcastle University.

I am particularly interested in social perception and cognition in individuals with Williams syndrome and Autism and I have been exploring aspects of attention (or inattention in some cases) to faces, the use of typical (or atypical) gaze behaviours and the ability to interpret social / communicative signals (e.g. expressions of emotion, trustworthiness, eye gaze shifts). I am just about to start a new project funded by the British Academy to look at assessments of trust and approachability for faces in Williams syndrome.

I look forward to reading about everyone's interests in face perception on this list.

Best wishes

Debbie

Debbie's message reminds me that one thing this list could be useful for
is to disseminate things worth knowing.  Ayone who hasn't seen it should
check out Figure 1 in (p.2857) in Riby and Hancock (2008, Viewing it
differently: social scene perception in Williams syndrome and autism,
Neuropsychologia, 46, 2855-2860).  It shows which parts of a scene get
fixated most by typically developing children, and for children with
autism or Williams syndrome.  The result is very compelling!  Good for
engaging your students' interest, too.

Cheers,

Andy.

Hello



I should follow Andy promptly as I am one of the more recent recruits to
the field despite having discussed some face research issues with Andy
at Durham many (many) years ago. My interest lies in the
perception-visual working memory interface, and in particular the short
term representation of fine, coordinate or high fidelity, information. A
paper by Scolari, Vogel and Awh prompted my interest in face visual
memory by alluding to tantalising interactions with perceptual
processes. I am not sure those interactions exist but my motivation
continues. I am exploring the perceptual-memory interface within the
context of the other race effect, and with Debbie Riby at Newcastle
University, exploring the overlap of coordinate perceptual processes
with face 2nd order spatial processes within a developmental context.



I also look forward to hearing of the particular research interests of
the face group members.
