Eye movement strategies during face matching
Although there is a large literature on face recognition, less is known about the process of face matching, i.e., deciding whether two photographs depict the same person. The research described here examines viewers’ strategies for matching faces, and addresses the issue of which parts of a face …

An analysis of face matching accuracy and related variables: a meta-analysis and two follow-up studies
Face matching is used in many different transportation and policing situations and is an important last line of defense in security contexts such as the TSA. Despite how important this task is in ensuring security, no meta-analyses have been performed to find the average effect sizes of previously …

Person Identification in a Legal Setting
… yet it is well established that unfamiliar face matching is highly error-prone. In an attempt to optimise identification from CCTV images, expert evidence based on forensic image comparison may be provided in court. However, forensic image comparison techniques suffer from a major …

Theoretical and real-world applications of superior face recognition.
… the existence of people with extraordinary face recognition skills (so-called “super-recognisers”; SRs), the cognitive and perceptual underpinnings of the ability are unknown. This thesis addresses this issue, using behavioural and eye-movement measures. It also evaluates the methods used to …

A neuroscientific and cognitive examination of individual differences in face recognition ability
There are large individual differences in face processing ability, with Super-Recognisers (SRs) being exceptionally superior to individuals with average face recognition ability. This thesis describes seven experiments examining SRs’ cognitive performance as well as neural/electrical activity in …

Recharacterising Face Recognition Deficits in Developmental Prosopagnosia.
… by a relatively selective deficit in face recognition. Current approaches to diagnose the condition vary within the field, making comparisons across studies difficult. Furthermore, theoretical inferences rely on accurate identification of people with DP and, combined with the fact that …

The own-group bias in face processing: the effect of training on recognition performance
The own-group bias in face recognition (OGB) is the greater facility to distinguish and recognize people from one's own group at the expense of people from other-groups. The OGB has been studied for many years, however, very little research focuses on finding a way to decrease or eliminate it, …
