This work critically discusses contemporary research in face recognition, leading to an approach with criminological applications. The title covers: the methodological and philosophical basis of research in face recognition; findings and their explanations, conceptual issues, theories and models of face recognition; the Catch Model for reconstructing (identifying) a face from memory, and other models and methods of face reconstruction; conscious perception and recognition of faces. The text also discusses ideas on conceptualizing face perception and recognition in tasks of facial cognition, developing the Schema Theory and the Catch Model, and introducing Rakover and Cahlon's discovery of the proposed law of Face Recognition by Similarity (FRBS).
