Attention to internal face features in unfamiliar face matching.
Accurate matching of unfamiliar faces is vital in security and forensic applications, yet previous research has suggested that humans often perform poorly when matching unfamiliar faces. Hairstyle and facial hair can strongly influence unfamiliar face matching but are potentially unreliable cues. This study investigated whether increased attention to the more stable internal face features of ey...
متن کاملRunning Head : UNFAMILIAR FACE MATCHING The Effects of External Features and Time Pressure on Unfamiliar Face Matching
Previous research has suggested that human performance on the task of matching previously unseen faces is often poor and varies widely from person to person. The external face features can strongly influence unfamiliar face matching but are potentially unreliable cues, and attention to internal face features may facilitate matching performance. Forty-three first year psychology students perform...
متن کاملRedesigning photo-ID to improve unfamiliar face matching performance.
Viewers find it difficult to match photos of unfamiliar faces for identity. Despite this, the use of photographic ID is widespread. In this study we ask whether it is possible to improve face matching performance by replacing single photographs on ID documents with multiple photos or an average image of the bearer. In 3 experiments we compare photo-to-photo matching with photo-to-average matchi...
متن کاملDevelopmental improvement and age-related decline in unfamiliar face matching.
Age-related changes have been documented widely in studies of face recognition and eyewitness identification. However, it is not clear whether these changes arise from general developmental differences in memory or occur specifically during the perceptual processing of faces. We report two experiments to track such perceptual changes using a 1-in- 10 (experiment 1) and 1-in-1 (experiment 2) mat...
متن کاملSex differences in unfamiliar face identification: evidence from matching tasks.
Research on sex differences in face recognition has reported mixed results, on balance suggesting an advantage for female observers. However, it is not clear whether this advantage is specific to face processing or reflects a more general superiority effect in episodic memory. The current study therefore examined sex differences with a face-matching task that eliminates memory demands. Across t...
