COMPREHENSION OF FACE COGNITION IN MODERN SCIENCE

This article is dedicated to theoretical research of face cognition in modern science. In this article discussed issues related to terminology, the basic approaches in research and the possible contribution of Russian neuropsychology school in this problem. Modern variants of the research of face cognition are bounded by psychodiagnostic methods which are directed on the one side of the process of face cognition. These methods have their pluses (easy elaboration and use) and minuses (unidirection, absence of calculation of individual characteristics). That's why new ways of researches of face cognition come- many- dimensional researches of face cognition. These batteries include all-round research of face cognition, and calculation of individual characteristics, speed and precision making tasks precision. This approach is very interesting and adequate for researching the face cognition, but there is a row of questions: impossibility of using these methods in clinics because of much time to make them, impossibility using this method with children because of their exhaustibility. These problems carry big deficiency in clinical using these methods. The way of solving this problem may be in Russian school of neuropsychology, which will allow to research the contribution of exact zone in face cognition, as it's a very difficult process. More detailed and qualified describing will open new horizons of this process. Besides, mixing of quality analysis and quantitative analysis is adequate with researches of physiological methods, where every method will be amplified with another on an exact stage of a research.
