Abstract

Face recognition is a highly developed and specialised human ability, distinct from other cognitive abilities. Previous studies examining individual differences in face recognition have focused on face perception and specialised perceptual mechanisms such as holistic face processing. However, the contribution of specific face memory processes to face recognition ability remains unclear. In 99 neurotypical individuals, we administered validated face perception assessments, three face memory tasks (old/new task, face-scene task, face-name/occupation task), and the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) to assess face recognition ability. We found that after accounting for face perception ability (which significantly predicted face recognition ability), face-name recall and recollection of faces in the face-scene task predicted unique variance in face recognition ability, with face-name recall being the strongest predictor. This highlights that associative memory mechanisms contribute to face recognition abilities and suggests that the ability to learn and recall proper names is particularly important to face recognition.

快讯更好的面孔-姓名记忆与更好的面孔识别能力相关。
人脸识别是一种高度发达的专门能力,有别于其他认知能力。以往对人脸识别个体差异的研究主要集中在人脸感知和专门的感知机制上,如整体人脸处理。然而,特定的人脸记忆过程对人脸识别能力的贡献仍不清楚。我们对 99 名神经畸形个体进行了有效的人脸感知评估、三项人脸记忆任务(新旧任务、人脸场景任务、人脸-姓名/职业任务)和剑桥人脸记忆测试(CFMT),以评估他们的人脸识别能力。我们发现,在考虑了人脸感知能力(该能力可显著预测人脸识别能力)之后,人脸-姓名记忆和人脸-场景任务中的人脸回忆可预测人脸识别能力的独特差异,其中人脸-姓名记忆是最强的预测因素。这凸显了联想记忆机制对人脸识别能力的贡献,并表明学习和回忆专有名称的能力对人脸识别尤为重要。

期刊介绍: Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling. QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form. The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
