TLDR
A new test for unfamiliar face matching, the Glasgow Face Matching Test (GFMT), which correlates moderately with face memory but more strongly with object matching, a result that is consistent with previous research highlighting a link between object and face matching.Abstract:
We describe a new test for unfamiliar face matching, the Glasgow Face Matching Test (GFMT). Viewers are shown pairs of faces, photographed in full-face view but with different cameras, and are asked to make same/different judgments. The full version of the test comprises 168 face pairs, and we also describe a shortened version with 40 pairs. We provide normative data for these tests derived from large subject samples. We also describe associations between the GFMT and other tests of matching and memory. The new test correlates moderately with face memory but more strongly with object matching, a result that is consistent with previous research highlighting a link between object and face matching, specific to unfamiliar faces. The test is available free for scientific use.read more

Variability in Photos of the Same Face.
TL;DR: It is shown that photographs are not consistent indicators of facial appearance because they are blind to within-person variability, which has important practical implications, and suggests that face photographs are unsuitable as proof of identity.

Passport officers' errors in face matching.
TL;DR: While average performance of passport staff was poor, some officers performed very accurately – though this was not related to length of experience or training, and it is proposed that improvements in security could be made by emphasising personnel selection.

Why has research in face recognition progressed so slowly? : The importance of variability
TL;DR: The authors argue that face recognition (specifically identification) may only be understood by adopting new techniques that acknowledge statistical patterns in the visual environment, and some of our current methods will need to be abandoned.

TL;DR: Research highlights ► Congenital prosopagnosics show weak holistic coding of expression and identity, and Holistic coding of identity is functionally involved in face identification ability.

Stable face representations
Rob Jenkins,A. Mike Burton +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that image averaging stabilizes facial appearance by diluting aspects of the image that vary between snapshots of the same person, and develops the proposal that summary statistics can provide more stable face representations.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

Understanding face recognition
Vicki Bruce,Andrew W. Young +1 more
TL;DR: A functional model is proposed in which structural encoding processes provide descriptions suitable for the analysis of facial speech, for analysis of expression and for face recognition units, and it is proposed that the cognitive system plays an active role in deciding whether or not the initial match is sufficiently close to indicate true recognition.
