VISUAL FIELD BIAS OF FACIAL PARTS RECOGNITION

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that no visual field bias was observed in short-term memory of photographs depicting facial parts. However, bias has been known to be present in recognition of many other types of visual objects. In this study, simplified illustrations of facial parts were employed to determine whether such bias remains absent despite the complexity of facial parts properties. The results of this research demonstrated this irrelevancy. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the participants could significantly detect illustrations eye faster than ear and nose.
