Young et al (1987) have demonstrated that the juxtaposition of top and bottom halves of different faces produces a powerful impression of a novel face. It is difficult to isolate perceptually either half of the 'new' face. Inversion of the stimulus, however, makes this task easier. Upright chimeric faces appear to evoke strong and automatic configurational processing mechanisms which interfere with selective piecemeal processing. In this paper three experiments are described in which a matching paradigm was used to show that Young et al's findings apply to unfamiliar as well as to familiar faces. The results highlight the way in which minor procedural differences may alter the way in which subjects perform face-recognition tasks.
扬等人（1987年）已经证明，将不同面孔的上半部分和下半部分并列会产生一种强烈的新面孔印象。从感知上很难分离出“新”面孔的任何一半。然而，刺激的倒置使这项任务变得更容易。直立的嵌合面孔似乎会引发强大的自动构型处理机制，这会干扰选择性的零碎处理。在本文中，描述了三个实验，其中使用匹配范式来表明扬等人的发现适用于不熟悉的面孔以及熟悉的面孔。结果突出了微小的程序差异可能改变受试者执行面部识别任务方式的方式。
