Is face distinctiveness gender based?
Two experiments were carried out to study the role of gender category in evaluations of face distinctiveness. In Experiment 1, participants had to evaluate the distinctiveness and the femininity-masculinity of real or artificial composite faces. The composite faces were created by blending either faces of the same gender (sexed composite faces, approximating the sexed prototypes) or faces of bo...
متن کاملFace familiarity, distinctiveness, and categorical perception.
Four experiments with faces support the original interpretation of categorical perception (CP) as only present for familiar categories. Unlike in the results of Levin and Beale (2000), no evidence is found for face identity CP with unfamiliar faces. Novel face identities were shown to be capable of encoding for immediate sorting purposes but the representations utilized do not have the format o...
متن کاملGender is a dimension of face recognition.
In an experiment, the authors investigated the impact of gender categorization on face recognition. Participants were familiarized with composite androgynous faces labeled with either a woman's first name (Mary) or a man's first name (John). The results indicated that participants more quickly eliminated faces of the opposite gender than faces of the same gender than the face they were looking ...
متن کاملDistinctiveness Effects in Face Memory Vanish with Well-Controlled Distractors
The “distinctiveness effect” in face memory holds that distinctive faces are recognized better than typical faces, as reflected by higher hit rates and lower false alarm rates during recognition tasks. We propose that this effect is due to a systematic bias in the similarity relationships between target and distractor faces. Specifically, we claim that distinctive faces are recognized more succ...
متن کاملReexamining the “Distinctiveness Effect”: Poorer Recognition of Distinctive Face Silhouettes
A recognition advantage for distinctive faces has been widely reported (e.g., Valentine, 1991). In such studies, distinctive faces produce more hits and fewer false alarms than typical faces. Although the finding is robust, the mechanism for this advantage has not been carefully explored. The choice of distractors in these studies does not guarantee equivalent target-distractor distances for ty...
