Develops a theoretical model and a set of terms for understanding and discussing how we recognize familiar faces and the relationship between recognition and other aspects of face processing. Seven distinct types of information that we derive from seen faces; Features of a functional model in which structural encoding processes provide descriptions suitable for the analysis of facial speech, for analysis of expression and for face recognition units.

Reports about the four experiments which assess repetition priming between parts of famous faces and whole faces. Burton, Bruce and Johnson model of face recognition; Properties of repetition priming; Priming results from structural changes within the computational processes that mediate the recognition of familiar stimuli.
