TL;DR: For instance, Bahrick et al. as discussed by the authors assessed development between ages 6 and 16 of the ability to encode unfamiliar faces and found that performance improved significantly between age 6 and 10 and then remained at a fixed level or actually declined for several years, finally improving again by age 16.
Abstract: In these studies we assessed development between ages 6 and 16 of the ability to encode unfamiliar faces. Performance improved markedly between ages 6 and 10 and then remained at a fixed level or actually declined for several years, finally improving again by age 16. Evidence is provided that this distinctive developmental course reflects, in part, acquisition of processes specific to the encoding effaces rather than general pattern encoding or metamemorial skills. The possibility that maturational factors contribute to the developmental course efface recognition is raised, and two sources of data relevant to assessing this possibility are discussed. Normal adults have a prodigious capacity for making new faces familiar. Whether one's high school class contained 90 or 800 people, approximately 90% of those classmates are recognized 35 years after graduation (Bahrick, Bahrick, & Wittlinger, 1975). Less dramatically, laboratory studies have shown that very brief exposure to previously unfamiliar faces permits subjects to distinguish those faces from new ones at a later time. The level of performance remains high across inspection sets that range in size from 20 to 72 (Bower & Karlin, 1974; Galper, 1970; Hochberg & Galper, 1967; Yarmey, 1971; Yin, 1969; but also see Diamond & Carey, 1977, and Patterson & Baddeley,

TL;DR: In this paper, a model using schema theory was proposed to explain inferior recognition memory for "foreign" faces, and support for this interpretation was derived from a variety of studies (total N = 671 males and females ages three years through adult): the development of facial schemata, comparative efficiency of own-race face recognition with other-race recognition, correlation between own race and other race recognition performance measures, and inverted face recognition.

TL;DR: This article explored the utility of a relatively new image generation technique -the Field Identification System (FIS) and found that the effect of composite similarity (goodness-of-fit of the image with the target person) was significant.
Abstract: A facial recognition study explored the utility of a relatively new image generation technique – the Field Identification System (FIS). Subjects saw an FIS composite and then attempted to select the target face in a series of photographs. The effect of composite similarity (goodness-of-fit of the image with the target person) was significant, with high similarity composites leading to better recognition (30 percent hit rates). Performance with low similarity composites was no better than chance. False alarms were 20 percent overall, with no difference between conditions. The results have implications for criminal identification procedures.
