To investigate face individuation (FI), a critical brain function in the human species, an
oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) approach was recently introduced (Liu …

This journal is dedicated to “use-inspired basic research” where a problem in the world
shapes the hypotheses for study in the laboratory. This review considers the role of …

Facial image comparison practitioners compare images of unfamiliar faces and decide
whether or not they show the same person. Given the importance of these decisions for …

This study presents the Kent Face Matching Test (KFMT), which comprises 200 same‐
identity and 20 different‐identity pairs of unfamiliar faces. Each face pair consists of a …

Photographic identity documents (IDs) are commonly used despite clear evidence that
unfamiliar face matching is a difficult and error-prone task. The current study set out to …

It is well‐established that matching images of unfamiliar faces is rather error prone.
However, there is an important mismatch between face matching in laboratory and realistic …

Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a cognitive condition characterized by a relatively
selective impairment in face recognition. Currently, people are screened for DP via a single …

Matching unfamiliar faces is a difficult task. Here we ask whether it is possible to improve
performance by providing multiple images to support matching. In two experiments we …

In the last decade there has been increasing interest in super-recognizers, who have an
extraordinary ability to recognize faces. However, it has not yet been investigated whether …

Recent investigations of individual differences have demonstrated striking variability in
performance both within the same subprocess in face cognition (eg face perception), but …
