Abstract
The underlying premise of the transfer-inappropriate processing shift (TIPS) hypothesis is that an intervening activity produces a shift from appropriate (holistic) to inappropriate processing (featural). An untested extension of TIPS is that producing a shift from featural to holistic processing should produce similar results. In this experiment participants encoded a face featurally, completed a Navon (local or global) or a control task, and then viewed a sequential lineup. Local Navon participants outperformed control participants and global participants, reversing Macrae and Lewis' (2002) results. Results are discussed with regard to TIPS and featural processing of unfamiliar faces.
