Face Recognition by Metropolitan Police Super-Recognisers
Face recognition is used to prove identity across a wide variety of settings. Despite this, research consistently shows that people are typically rather poor at matching faces to photos. Some professional groups, such as police and passport officers, have been shown to perform just as poorly as the general public on standard tests of face recognition. However, face recognition skills are subjec...
متن کاملFace recognition assessments used in the study of super-recognisers
The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of nine assessments of face processing skills. These tests have been used commonly in recent years to gauge the skills of perspective ‘super-recognisers’ with respect to the general population. In the literature, a person has been considered to be a ‘superrecogniser’ based on superior scores on one or more of these tests (cf., Noyes, Phil...
متن کاملSuper-recognizers: people with extraordinary face recognition ability.
We tested 4 people who claimed to have significantly better than ordinary face recognition ability. Exceptional ability was confirmed in each case. On two very different tests of face recognition, all 4 experimental subjects performed beyond the range of control subject performance. They also scored significantly better than average on a perceptual discrimination test with faces. This effect wa...
متن کاملSuper-recognisers in Action: Evidence from Face-matching and Face Memory Tasks
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 television footage. It has long been established that both tasks produce a high error rate amongst typical perceivers. This study sought to determine the performance of individuals with exceptionally good face me...
متن کاملSuperior Face Recognition 1 Running Head: SUPERIOR FACE RECOGNITION An In-depth Cognitive Examination of Individuals with Superior Face Recognition Skills
Previous work has reported the existence of “super-recognisers” (SRs), or individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. However, the precise underpinnings of this ability have not yet been investigated. In this paper we examine (a) the face-specificity of super recognition, (b) perception of facial identity in SRs, (c) whether SRs present with enhancements in holistic processing and (...
