This task allowed the extraction of individual orientation profiles and horizontaltuning scores for faces.
2
Our results indicate that individual differences in horizontaltuning are best predicted by utilization of the eyes.
3
We then measured the association between horizontaltuning for faces and the face-processing ability score and observed a significant positive correlation.
4
One study, for instance, has reported an association between horizontaltuning for faces and face identification ability measured within the same task.
5
Importantly, this relation could not be accounted for by other factors such as object-processing ability, horizontaltuning for cars, or greater sensitivity to horizontal gratings.
