“…Following a similar time course, identity recognition progressively improved into late adolescence before reaching the adult level [73]. Thus face recognition may be a multi-stage process, where the early stage of face categorization is important for later stages of mnemonic processing that are sensitive to face identity [113,120,123].…”

“…Possibly marking the category-recognition stage, the N170 is sensitive to features usually predictive of faces, such as isolated eyes, nose or mouth [117,118], or back views of the head, or face outlines without features. In contrast, the N170 appears independent of face identity [113,119,120] as it is insensitive to face repetition [119,121], learning [122], familiarity [123,124], or attention [125]. Although the N170 is not dynamically responsive to face identity or memory, comparison among adult subjects suggests that its amplitude and latency may predict general proficiency at face recognition [114].…”

Autism is a pervasive developmental condition, characterized by impairments in non-verbal communication, social relationships and stereotypical patterns of behavior. A large body of evidence suggests that several aspects of face processing are impaired in autism, including anomalies in gaze processing, memory for facial identity and recognition of facial expressions of emotion. In search of neural markers of anomalous face processing in autism, much interest has focused on a network of brain regions that are implicated in social cognition and face processing. In this review, we will focus on three such regions, namely the STS for its role in processing gaze and facial movements, the FFA in face detection and identification and the amygdala in processing facial expressions of emotion. Much evidence suggests that a better understanding of the normal development of these specialized regions is essential for discovering the neural bases of face processing anomalies in autism. Thus, we will also examine the available literature on the normal development of face processing. Key unknowns in this research area are the neuro-developmental processes, the role of experience and the interactions among components of the face processing system in shaping each of the specialized regions for processing faces during normal development and in autism.

“…It should also provide mechanisms explaining how emotions relate to intuition, and how, at least with experts, intuitions lead to decisions that are generally suitable. We develop such a theory, using as a starting point the template theory (TempT) proposed by Gobet and Simon (1996b;2000).…”

Several authors have highlighted the role of intuition in expertise. In particular, a large amount of data has been collected about intuition in expert nursing, and intuition plays an important role in the influential theory of nursing expertise developed by Benner (1984). We discuss this theory, and highlight both data that support it and data that challenge it. Based on this assessment, we propose a new theory of nursing expertise and intuition, which emphasizes how perception and conscious problem solving are intimately related. In the discussion, we propose that this theory opens new avenues of enquiry for research into nursing expertise. KeywordsCare, decision-making, expertise, intuition, memory, nursing, pattern recognition Expert Intuition in Nursing 3 Towards an alternative to Benner's theory of expert intuition in nursing:A discussion paper What is already known about the topic?• While the role of intuition in nursing has been the topic of considerable debate, studies have established that this is a genuine phenomenon.• Definitions of experts' intuition emphasize five features: rapid perception, lack of awareness of the processes engaged, presence of emotions, holistic understanding of the situation, and overall good quality of the proposed solutions.• The literature often refers to Patricia Benner's theory of nursing expertise, which proposes that the road to expertise encompasses five stages. What this paper adds• A detailed discussion of Benner's theory, which leads to the conclusion that the theory is too simple to account for the complex pattern of phenomena that recent research on expert intuition has uncovered.• A new theory of expert intuition in nursing, which provides mechanisms for explaining how intuitive, perceptual decision making is linked to more analytical problem solving.• The suggestion that standard research on expertise (mostly based on the natural sciences) and that on nursing expertise (often based on phenomenology) should start a constructive dialogue.

“…In typical adults, the N170 component is thought to be related to early stage encoding of faces (Bentin, Allison, Puce, Perez, & McCarthy, 1996;Eimer, 1998Eimer, , 2000. The N170 is maximal over posterior temporal areas (typically measured at electrodes T5 and T6), peaks at about 170 ms after stimulus onset, is faster and larger to face stimuli compared to non-face stimuli, and does not differ based on the familiarity of the face (Bentin, Deouell, & Soroker, 1999;Eimer, 2000).…”

Autism involves a basic impairment in social cognition. This study investigated early stage face processing in young children with autism by examining the face-sensitive early negative eventrelated brain potential component in 3-4 year old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), typical development, and developmental delay. Results indicated that children with ASD showed a slower electrical brain response to faces and a larger amplitude response to objects compared to children with typical development and developmental delay. These findings indicate that children with ASD have a disordered pattern of brain responses to faces and objects at an early age.
