Abstract

Obrada lica obuhvaća sposobnosti detekcije i prepoznavanja lica, obrade
usmjerenosti pogleda i emocionalnih izraza lica te se smatra važnom domenom u
razvoju teorije uma. Rani razvoj sposobnosti obrade lica ima važnu ulogu u
uspostavljanju prvih socijalnih interakcija i odnosa te daljnjem razvoju kognitivnih
sposobnosti (npr. jezika) i usvajanju znanja kroz socijalno učenje. Cilj ovog preglednog
rada je kroz kritičku evaluaciju relevantnih istraživanja prikazati suvremene spoznaje o
razvoju neurobiološke osnove obrade lica kod dojenčadi tijekom prve godine života. U
radu prikazana su odabrana istraživanja koja su kroz različite tehnike i metode u okviru
nekoliko istraživačkih pristupa pružila važna saznanja o razvoju i neuralnoj osnovi
sposobnosti obrade lica kroz prvu godinu života. Iako je lokalizacija neuralne aktivacije
u ovoj dobi još nespecijalizirana, rezultati istraživanja sugeriraju da ugrubo odgovara
lokalizaciji karakterističnoj za odrasle. Priložena filogenetska usporedba ukazuje na
superiornost ljudi u obradi lica u odnosu na primate, što se uglavnom povezuje s
prirodom socijalnih odnosa i interakcija te složenosti zajednica specifičnih za vrstu. Na
kraju rada opisani su nalazi koji upućuju na značaj obrade lica u djece urednog razvoja,
kao i na važnost procjene sposobnosti obrade lica u okviru rane dijagnostike poremećaja
iz autističnog spektra.

Abstract (english)

Face processing refers to face detection, recognition of familiar faces, eye gaze
processing and recognition of facial expressions of emotions. It is considered as core
domain in development of theory of mind. Early development of face processing plays a
key role in establishing primary social interactions, development of other cognitive
abilities (e.g., language), and acquiring knowledge through social learning. The aim of
this paper is critical evaluation of relevant research on development of the
neurobiological basis of face processing during the first year of life. In this paper, we
reviewed studies using various research techniques and methods, as well as different
research approaches in order to depict the development and the neural basis of face
processing through the first year of life. It seems that, although the localization of neural
activation in this age is still unspecialized, it roughly corresponds to the localization of
neural activation in adult population. Phylogenetic comparison indicated the superiority
of human face processing in relation to primates, which is mainly associated with the
species-specific nature of social relationships, interactions and complexity of
community. Finally, findings show the importance of face processing in typically
developing children as well as the importance of considering face processing as
important indicator in early diagnostic procedures for autistic spectrum disorder.
