Face Recognition

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that face recognition, one of the first issues studied with regard to child psychological development, plays a significant role in early brain development, but this may be a natural characteristic rather than one that is learned over time. The author points out that research is locating the site in the adult brain for face recognition activities, which is important for analyzing the effects of organic and non-organic brain damage that has increasing consequence for the treatment of alcoholism and even autistism. This paper concludes that the research is substantial with regard to the issue of face recognition, its impact on social and cognitive ability, and its importance within both children and adults, but more research must be done to determine its efficacy and best practices with regard to face recognition technology for identification purposes.

From the Paper:

"Many of these questions have become increasingly important to the whole of society as more and more people lean toward, biometric identification technology to increase security during travel and to meet the most recent U.S. demand for biometric identification for all flight passengers entering the United States from foreign countries by October 26, 2004. The historical research has been used to develop ways in which the human identifies faces for recognition and developed the same or similar tactics in a simulate computerized system that is said to scan faces and determine their similarity with those in a database."
