What does it mean for a face to be recognized holistically? Our work has related different theoretical approaches to understanding holistic face recognition, examined the temporal dynamics of holistic processing, studied perceptual and decisional components of holistic effects, and examined the role of spatial frequency in holistic face recognition.
