Funded Activity Summary
The Role of Adaptive Coding Mechanisms in the Development of Face Perception. Faces are immensely rich in social information, and early difficulties in extracting such information can have profound consequences for later social functioning. This project will provide insights into the ways in which our face-reading abilities develop throughout childhood. In addition to helping us better understand normal social development, this research will provide a foundation for understanding how face-reading difficulties can affect people with developmental disorders (such as autism), how face-reading can be disrupted in individuals whose early visual experience is affected by cataracts at birth, and how such difficulties might be alleviated through clinical intervention.Funded Activity Details
