The purpose of this initial chapter is to provide a general
sketch of the problems that must be addressed in quantifying the
representations and processes involved in converting an image of
a face into a meaningful cognitive object. Our approach is to
define a structural model of the process components and to point
out implicit connections among the logical, computational, and
psychological pieces of the problem. We will consider especially
potential connections among computational, psychophysical, and
traditional information processing approaches that have not been
made explicit in the literature.
