Abstract
Trends in psychological researches devoted to the problem of face perception by different kinds of animals as a source of subjective significant information are discussed. Broaden interpretation of term "face" that makes it possible to use it for not only man or primates, but for other animals including invertebrates as well is proposed. Application of evolutional approach to researches on face perception is based. Original methodological approaches and new findings on perception of face as an "organ" of social interaction, sign of individual differentiation, and source of situational cognitive and emotionally significant information are presented. Faces are shown to be significant objects for many animals. It is argued that high significance of visual information channel and importance of social interactions are premises for the development of ability for faces' discrimination, categorization and remembering. The results of researches on specific neuronal and behavioral responses of representatives of several kinds of animals to the face as a specific type of visual stimuli are presented. Increase in local activity of homo-logical regions of brain when other individuals are recognized or in response to their emotional sate in man, primates and in sheep too is confirmed. Similar perceptual phenomena such as inversion effect, effect of "own race", etc. are marked.
Keywords
Perception of faces, visual stimulus, individual differentiation, categorization, perception of emotions, perceptual phenomena, social interactions, communication of animals with man, direction of a look, brain specialization, adaptation, evolution, phylogenies
