Best face forward: similarity effects in repetition priming of face recognition

Article Abstract:

This article examines the effects of exposing subjects to a set of pictures of human faces immediately prior to a face recognition task. Findings indicate that priming subjects with pictures that are very similar to target faces results in significantly faster face recognition performance when compared to priming with dissimilar faces.

The effects of massive repetition on speeded recognition of faces

Article Abstract:

Experiments have been conducted to investigate the effects of massive repetition on recognition of faces. Topics include self-priming, models of face recognition and massive repetition, a simulation of massive repetition, and implications for the interactive activation and competition with learning (IACL) model.

Repeated repetition priming in face recognition

Article Abstract:

Repetition priming, or repeated exposure to an item, has been shown to facilitate later recognition of that item. A study using pictures of human faces measures the effect of repetition priming on the reaction time of subsequent face recognition.
