[visionlist] International PhD Scholarship in Face and Person Perception

[Libby Taylor]

ARC Center of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders International  
PhD Student Scholarship in Face and Person Perception at The  
University of Western Australia

The Research
• We aim to understand the mechanisms (perceptual, cognitive, neural,  
evolutionary) underlying
face recognition and other person perception skills.
• A major focus is on how person perception skills emerge during  
typical development and in
children with autism spectrum disorders. A long-term goal is to  
develop interventions to enhance
person perception, and ultimately, social functioning and quality of  
life in individuals with person
perception difficulties.

Psychology (please visit http://www.psy.uwa.edu.au/facelab/index.htm)
