An evaluation of two commonly used tests of unfamiliar face recognition

Abstract

Abstract The two standardized tests of face recognition that are widely used suffer from serious shortcomings Keywords: Face recognition; Prosopagnosia; Neuropsychology Face recognition is one of the most intensively studied aspects of human cognition involving scientists from a wide range of related fields. Because of this, it is important that researchers have access to well-designed standardized tests of face recognition. Such tests would provide a means to compare the performance of participants in different laboratories. In addition, they would provide researchers with a ready-made tool so they would not need to create a test and develop norms. Lastly, neuropsychologists and neurologists require additional tests that can contribute to classifying individuals who have face recognition impairments
