shapes the hypotheses for study in the laboratory. This review considers the role of …

Individuals employed in forensic or security settings are often required to compare faces of
ID holders to document photographs, or to recognise the faces of suspects in closed‐circuit …

Forensic face matching refers to the comparison of pairs of faces for identification purposes,

This study presents the Kent Face Matching Test (KFMT), which comprises 200 same‐

The Cambridge Face Memory Test Long Form (CFMT+) and Cambridge Face Perception
Test (CFPT) are typically used to assess the face processing ability of individuals who …

It is well‐established that matching images of unfamiliar faces is rather error prone.
However, there is an important mismatch between face matching in laboratory and realistic …

performance both within the same subprocess in face cognition (eg face perception), but …

In face matching, observers have to decide if two photographs depict the same person or
different people. This is a remarkably difficult task, so the current study investigated whether …

While a change in view is considered to be one of the most damaging manipulations for
facial identification, this phenomenon has been measured traditionally with tasks that …
