Unfamiliar faces are not faces: evidence from a matching task.
It is difficult to match two images of the same unfamiliar face, even under good conditions. Here, we show that there are large individual differences on unfamiliar face matching. Initially, we tried to predict these using tests of visual short-term memory, cognitive style, and perceptual speed. Moderate correlations were produced by various components of these tests. In three other experiments...
متن کاملRecognition of unfamiliar faces.
People are excellent at identifying faces familiar to them, even from very low quality images, but are bad at recognizing, or even matching, unfamiliar faces. In this review we shall consider some of the factors that affect our abilities to match unfamiliar faces. Major differences in orientation (e.g. inversion) or greyscale information (e.g. negation) affect face processing dramatically, and ...
متن کاملInteractive processes in matching identity and expressions of unfamiliar faces: evidence for mutual facilitation effects.
We investigated the interactions between matching identity and expressions of unfamiliar faces. In experiment 1, participants matched expressions in frontal and in oblique views, while we manipulated facial identity. In experiment 2, participants matched identity in frontal and in oblique views, while facial expressions were manipulated. Labeling of expressions was not required. Results showed ...
متن کاملNeandertal faces were not long; modern human faces are short.
Neandertal faces have been described as being derived with respect to their overall length or degree of anterior projection. A comparison of cranial and mandibular indicators of lower facial projection across archaic and modern Homo indicates that Neandertal facial lengths on average are similar to those of preceding archaic Homo and principally contrast with those of recent humans. Neandertal ...
متن کاملCategorical perception of gender: No evidence for unfamiliar faces
We investigated whether male and female faces are discrete categories at the perceptual level. We created artificial gender continua between male and female faces using a 3D-morphing algorithm and used classical categorization and discrimination tasks to investigate categorical perception of gender. In Experiments 1 and 3, 3D morphs were computed between male and female faces. The results of th...
