摘要

尽管进行了大量研究，但发展性面孔失认症（DP）中面部感知缺陷的机制仍不清楚。在这里，我们使用穆尼脸来解决这个问题-双色，模糊的刺激需要整体和自上而下的处理，因为他们很少明确的面部线索。我们进行了两个实验来测试DP参与者使用敏感的穆尼任务感知面孔的能力。实验1 （N = 52名DP被试）显示，DP被试对穆尼脸的知觉受损。实验2 （N = 64名DP参与者）重复了这一发现，并揭示了对直立面孔的损害是选择性的，而对倒立面孔和汽车的感知则不受影响。我们的研究结果证实了先前关于DP整体加工受损的发现，并表明DP缺陷可能涉及异常的自上而下的面部知觉推断。

Impaired perception of Mooney faces in developmental prosopagnosia

Despite much research, the mechanisms underlying face perception deficits in developmental prosopagnosia (DP) remain unclear. Here we address this issue using Mooney faces – two-tone, ambiguous stimuli requiring holistic and top-down processing due to their minimal explicit facial cues. We conducted two experiments testing DP participants' ability to perceive faces using sensitive Mooney tasks. Experiment 1 (N = 52 DP participants) showed that perception of Mooney faces in DP is impaired. Experiment 2 (N = 64 DP participants) replicated this finding and revealed that the impairment is selective to upright faces, sparing perception of inverted faces and cars. Our results corroborate previous findings of impaired holistic processing in DP and suggest that DP deficits may involve aberrant top-down perceptual inference for faces.

期刊介绍： Cognition is an international journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers on the study of the mind. It covers a wide variety of subjects concerning all the different aspects of cognition, ranging from biological and experimental studies to formal analysis. Contributions from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, mathematics, ethology and philosophy are welcome in this journal provided that they have some bearing on the functioning of the mind. In addition, the journal serves as a forum for discussion of social and political aspects of cognitive science.
