Turning an object upside-down disrupts our ability to perceive it accurately, and this inversion effect is disproportionately larger for faces and whole bodies than most other objects. This disproportionate inversion effect is taken as an indicator of holistic processing for these stimuli. Large inversion effects are also found when viewing motion-only information from faces and bodies however these have not been compared to other moving objects in an identity task so it is unclear whether inversion effects remain disproportionately larger for faces and bodies when they are engaged in motion. The current study investigated the effect of inversion on static and moving unfamiliar faces, human bodies and German Shepherd dogs in an old-new recognition memory task. Sensitivity and baseline corrected RT results revealed that inversion effects for faces and whole-bodies remained disproportionately larger than those for German Shepherd dogs, regardless of presentation type, suggesting that both static and moving faces and bodies are processed holistically.

将一个物体倒置会破坏我们准确感知它的能力，而且与大多数其他物体相比，面部和整个身体的这种倒置效应不成比例地大。这种不成比例的反转效应被视为对这些刺激进行整体处理的指标。当查看来自面部和身体的仅运动信息时，也会发现大的反转效应，但是这些还没有与身份任务中的其他移动物体进行比较，因此不清楚当面部和身体参与运动时，反转效应是否仍然不成比例地大. 目前的研究调查了在一项新旧识别记忆任务中倒置对静态和移动的陌生面孔、人体和德国牧羊犬的影响。
