Super-Memorizers Are Not Super-Recognizers

چکیده
Humans have a natural expertise in recognizing faces. However, the nature of the interaction between this critical visual biological skill and memory is yet unclear. Here, we had the unique opportunity to test two individuals who have had exceptional success in the World Memory Championships, including several world records in face-name association memory. We designed a range of face processing tasks to determine whether superior/expert face memory skills are associated with distinctive perceptual strategies for processing faces. Superior memorizers excelled at tasks involving associative face-name learning. Nevertheless, they were as impaired as controls in tasks probing the efficiency of the face system: face inversion and the other-race effect. Super memorizers did not show increased hippocampal volumes, and exhibited optimal generic eye movement strategies when they performed complex multi-item face-name associations. Our data show that the visual computations of the face system are not malleable and are robust to acquired expertise involving extensive training of associative memory.

Developmental prosopagnosia and super-recognition: no special role for surface reflectance processing.
Face recognition by normal subjects depends in roughly equal proportions on shape and surface reflectance cues, while object recognition depends predominantly on shape cues. It is possible that developmental prosopagnosics are deficient not in their ability to recognize faces per se, but rather in their ability to use reflectance cues. Similarly, super-recognizers' exceptional ability with face...
متن کاملA new approach to rank the decision making units in presence of infeasibility in intuitionistic fuzzy environment
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based methodology to determine the relative performance efficiencies of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs). In real world applications, some input and output datas do not possess crisp/fuzzy essence but they possess intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) essence. So, in this study, we develop an IF BCC (IFBCC) and an IF super efficiency BCC (IFSE...
متن کاملA novel radial super-efficiency DEA model handling negative data
Super-efficiency model in the presence of negative data is a relatively neglected issue in the DEA field. The existing super-efficiency models have some shortcomings in practice. In this paper, a novel VRS radial super-efficiency DEA model based on Directional Distance Function (DDF) is proposed to provide a complete ranking order of units (including efficient and inefficient ones). The propose...
متن کاملIntegrating Hypotheses of Multiple Recognizers for Improving Mandarin LVCSR Performance
In this paper, we investigate how to improve Mandarin LVCSR performance by integrating multiple hypotheses from recognizers running in parallel. Different recognizers are trained by employing: (1) different phone sets, (2) different front-ends, and (3) different training sets. Nbest hypotheses are merged into a character transition network (CTN) and ROVER is used to select the final recognition...
متن کاملFrames in super Hilbert modules
In this paper, we define super Hilbert module and investigate frames in this space. Super Hilbert modules are generalization of super Hilbert spaces in Hilbert C*-module setting. Also, we define frames in a super Hilbert module and characterize them by using of the concept of g-frames in a Hilbert C*-module. Finally, disjoint frames in Hilbert C*-modules are introduced and investigated.
