Individual differences and the multidimensional nature of face perception
Face perception is crucial to social interactions, yet people vary in how easily they can
recognize their friends, verify an identification document or notice someone's smile. There …

Recognizing faces
The idea that most of us are good at recognizing faces permeates everyday thinking and is
widely used in the research literature. However, it is a correct characterization only of …

Understanding face familiarity
It has been known for many years that identifying familiar faces is much easier than
identifying unfamiliar faces, and that this familiar face advantage persists across a range of …

[HTML][HTML] The role of visual imagery in face recognition and the construction of facial composites. Evidence from Aphantasia
CJ Dance, G Hole, J Simner - Cortex, 2023 - Elsevier
People with aphantasia have a markedly impaired ability to form visual images in the mind's
eye. Here, by testing people with and without aphantasia, we examine the relationship …

Solving the border control problem: Evidence of enhanced face matching in individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills
Photographic identity documents (IDs) are commonly used despite clear evidence that
unfamiliar face matching is a difficult and error-prone task. The current study set out to …

The roles of perceptual and conceptual information in face recognition.
L Schwartz, G Yovel - Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2016 - psycnet.apa.org
The representation of familiar objects is comprised of perceptual information about their
visual properties as well as the conceptual knowledge that we have about them. What is the …

Deep convolutional neural networks in the face of caricature
Real-world face recognition requires us to perceive the uniqueness of a face across variable
images. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) accomplish this feat by generating …

How does a newly encountered face become familiar? The effect of within-person variability on adults' and children's perception of identity
KA Baker, S Laurence, CJ Mondloch - Cognition, 2017 - Elsevier
Adults and children aged 6 years and older easily recognize multiple images of a familiar
face, but often perceive two images of an unfamiliar face as belonging to different identities …

Improving face identification with specialist teams
People vary in their ability to identify faces, and this variability is relatively stable across
repeated testing. This suggests that recruiting high performers can improve identity …
