Learned Attentional Strategies in Word Holistic Processing

Previous research has shown that, like faces, words are processed either holistically or through the automatic representation of their parts combined. The automaticity assumed to underlie the holistic processing of words presupposes that individuals have a relatively low level of control over these processes. However, they may also be capable of learning from their environments whether processing words as a who...

Políticas municipais de promoção dos direitos dos consumidores em Cabo Verde: u...

Num contexto marcado por baixos níveis de literacia, escassa digitalização e limitada presença institucional, a assimetria de informação surge como uma falha de mercado estrutural que compromete a equidade e a eficiência nas relações de consumo. Em territórios periféricos como o Município de Mosteiros, esta desigualdade informacional acentua a vulnerabilidade dos consumidores e enfraquece os mecanismos de prote...

THE TOURISM AND SPORTS AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR RURAL AREAS

A publicidade e os menores em Portugal: uma perspetiva sobre as normais laborai...

O artigo analisa a relação dos menores com a publicidade em Portugal, em duas vertentes jurídicas: o Direito do Trabalho e o Direito do Consumo. Na primeira perspetiva, o trabalho versa sobre a participação dos menores em espetáculos ou em atividades de natureza cultural, artística e publicitária (e, em especial, as atividades publicitárias). Esta participação é regulada pelos artigos 2.º a 11.º da Lei n.º 105/...

O papel das “Smart Cities” no desenvolvimento do urbanismo sustentável nas Auta...

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal apresentar e definir o conceito de smartcities, relacionado com o conceito de urbanismo sustentável no poder local. Como a tecnologia pode ser usada para melhorar a eficiência e a sustentabilidade das cidades? É importante realçar que estes conceitos surgem associados ao planeamento urbanístico equilibrado e sustentável das autarquias locais. A revisão de literatura rea...

From Perugino to Picasso revisited: Electrophysiological responses to faces in ...

Behavioral research (Ventura, et al., 2023) suggested that pictorial representations of faces varying along a realism-distortion spectrum elicit holistic processing as natural faces. Whether holistic face neural responses are engaged similarly remains, however, underexplored. In the present study, we evaluated the neural correlates of naturalist and artistic face processing, by exploring electrophysiological re...

Change detection versus change localization for faces, houses, and words

The other-race effect (ORE) is a well-known phenomenon in which people discriminate and recognize faces from their ethnic group more accurately than faces from other ethnic groups. Holistic processing, or the mandatory tendency to process all parts of an object together, has been proposed as an explanation for the ORE. According to the holistic perspective of the ORE, other-race faces might be subject to weaker...

Domain Specificity vs. Domain Generality: The Case of Faces and Words

Faces and words are ever-present stimuli in social environments that require fine-grained, efficient discrimination of their constituents in order to acquire meaning. Provided that these stimuli share multiple characteristics, while simultaneously being different visual object categories in important ways, a debate has ensued pertaining to whether their processing can be reduced to a common mechanism or whether...

From Perugino to Picasso: Holistic processing of faces in paintings

Faces are generally assumed to be processed holistically, that is, features are represented in an integrated fashion. Similarly, pictorial representations of faces (e.g., drawings) have been shown to elicit holistic processing. Some researchers, however, have contested the concept of holistic face processing, suggesting that the perception of a face is no more than the sum of individual face parts. In the prese...

The mechanisms supporting holistic perception of words and faces are not indepe...

The question of whether word and face recognition rely on overlapping or dissociable neural and cognitive mechanisms received considerable attention in the literature. In the present work, we presented words (aligned or misaligned) superimposed on faces (aligned or misaligned) and tested the interference from the unattended stimulus category on holistic processing of the attended category. In Experiment 1, we f...
