Facial recognition is very important and it is fundamental to everyday life, humans are born to be attracted to faces and this provides us with useful information. Faces are seen as special as they provide information about people. Humans are very good at determining familiar faces and this is done through facial recognition. This essay will analyse the two cognitive models and how they can be applied to each case study. The strengths and weaknesses will be discussed as well as many examples will be included. Face Recognition is used in everyday life as people need to remember a face in their jobs or when meeting someone for the first time. Examples of practical applications are Mug shots searching, security monitoring and surveillance systems …show more content…

This model has units that are organised into pools which are involved in face recognition (Pike & Brace, 2012). The elements in each pool are facial recognition units (FRU) which includes memories. Semantic information units (SIUs) is the next pool and this is where relevant information is stored so that one will be able to recognise the person for example occupation and nationality (Pike & Brace, 2012). Person Identity Node (PINs) is the section which includes the recognition of the face and then the name. The last element is known as the Lexical output which can be defined as units that represent outputs as words or names (Pike & Brace, 2012). Each of these pools are linked to each other and make facial recognition …show more content…

Evidence of this is a man of 40 years old became prosopagnostic after he had an accident and now he cannot identify friends, family and even his wife. He is still able to recognise some objects but the main issue is that he is unable to recognise faces (Farah, Wilson, Drain & Tanaka, 1993). This was due to brain damage and his main impairment is with facial recognition. He suffered head injuries and although he cannot recognise certain people he is able to identity some words and pictures (Farah et al 1993). He suffered injuries on his temporal lobe which makes him unable to remember things that were previously important. The IAC model doesn’t relate to prosopagnosia and this is what the case is discussing and so it is evident that Bruce and Young’s model can be applied to this case

    In John Perry’s The Third Night, Weirob argues that without her body, even if she maintains the same brain, she will not be herself. She uses the example of Julia and Mary Frances to try and persuade Miller and Cohen that because she has “never seen [her body, she has] no attachment to it” (Perry 48). If someone was walking down the street and saw his friend, that person would be recognized by his body and by his physical appearance. The same can be said if someone had to be identified in a police line up.

Unconscious transference refers to the misidentification of an innocent person as the perpetrator due to seeing them in another context e.g before or when the event occurred. This occurs because of the way our brain retrieves information. In order to recall an event we have to reconstruct information using nerve pathways that were associated together during the event.

    Face recognition technology [1] is the least intrusive and fastest biometric technology. It works with the most obvious individual identifier – the human face. Instead of requiring people to place their hand on a reader (a process not acceptable in some cultures as well as being a source of illness transfer) or precisely position their eye in front of a scanner, face recognition systems unobtrusively take pictures of people 's faces as they enter a defined area. There is no intrusion or delay, and in most cases the subjects are entirely unaware of the process. They do not feel "under surveillance" or that their privacy has been invaded.
