Caricaturing the distinctive shape of famous faces can produce an advantage in
reactiontime paradigms but the role of distinctive colour and intensity information in …

Previous forays into the study of recognition have revealed an advantage for line-drawn and
photographic shape caricatures of faces in reaction-time paradigms. When a presentation …

Three experiments are reported in which the role of facial distinctiveness in line-drawing
representations of famous faces has been examined. In the first subjects were asked to …

The perception and recognition of photographic images of famous faces was compared with
the same images transformed to produce caricatures of different degrees of exaggeration …

Although caricatures are often gross distortions of faces, they frequently appear to be super-
portraits capable of eliciting recognition better than veridical depictions. This may occur …

It has been shown that it is possible to obtain faster and more accurate recognition for a
caricatured face than for a veridical face. This could suggest that there is something special …

The effects of movement on unfamiliar face recognition were investigated. In an incidental
learning task, faces were studied either as computer-animated (moving) displays or as a …

Caricatures, which increase the distinctiveness of faces, are generally recognised at least as
well as undistorted images of those faces. However, caricatures seem to facilitate …

The distinctiveness hypothesis states that unusual aspects offaces are coded in memory.
Support for this hypothesis has been found for the identification of highly familiar faces in …

Face recognition was investigated in a successive comparison task. Subjects were required
to make same/different judgments about pairs of Photo-fit faces that were either identical or …
