Recognizing Faces
As people age, they want to remember things from his or her past. The mind ages as the body does. As one grows older, the physical and mental changes start to appear. This paper will evaluate face recognition, identification, and classification on it. The second part will explain the role of concepts and categories in face recognition. The paper will evaluate the role of encoding and retrieval using long-term memory and the effects of face recognition. Finally, the possibly of errors can happen with race recognition.
Face Recognition, Identification, and Classification Over the past decade or so face recognition has become a popular area of research in computers and using most successful applications to develop further. Computer applications are available for face recognition. Other programs used are voice recognition, handwriting recognition, intelligent tutoring systems, writing, and computer supported learning. Voice recognition is an important tool for student’s developmental disabilities that no other standard teaching methods work. Hand writing recognition is the software that interprets the writing down on an electronic tablet. Intelligent tutoring systems are computer applications that let students answer questions. Writing assessment can read a student’s essay. Computer supported collaborative learning is to work with groups in a classroom. Faces are important because people are social creatures.
