Focusing on disorders, Bate unravels the mysteries and intricacies of facial processing from a new perspective, covering cognitive, developmental and clinical issues. Written in an engaging style and encompassing a wealth of detail, this is a must-read for both students and researchers interested in facial recognition.

Sarah Bate is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Bournemouth University, UK. Her doctoral thesis examined face processing impairments in developmental prosopagnosia (faceblindness), and she has continued this work into her postdoctoral research career.
