概要	Configural processing is central to human face recognition and is commonly described in terms of first-order relational processing, holistic processing, and second-order relational processing. Evidence from the composite face paradigm shows that matching identical face parts is more accurate when faces are misaligned, indicating that holistic processing can interfere with feature-based analysis. Building on this framework, the present study investigated whether second-order relational processing is a dominant component of holistic face perception for upright faces. The results demonstrated that increasing deviations in interocular distance significantly reduced face-matching accuracy. These findings highlight the critical role of second-order relational information in facial identification and suggest that sensitivity to precise spatial relationships between features underlies holistic face recognition, regardless of facial alignment.
