Face recognition in poor-quality video: evidence from security surveillance

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the ability of subjects to identify target people captured by a video security device. Results indicated that obscuring body or gain generated a small decrement in recognition performance. Findings also showed that obscuring the targets' heads had a significant influence on subjects' ability to recognize targets. The subjects were able to recognize the faces of targets even in poor-quality images.

When inverted faces are recognized: the role of configural information in face recognition

Article Abstract:

Face recognition is a complex cognitive task that involves processing information about the qualities of facial features as well as their spatial configuration. The face-inversion effect occurs when recognition is disrupted by viewing a face upside-down. This study examines this phenomenon and measures the degree of cognitive sensitivity to relational information.

Perceptual priming is not a necessary consequence of semantic classification of pictures

Article Abstract:

Repetition priming, or the process of exposing a subject to a visual stimulus, has been shown to increase the speed of subsequent recognition of the same stimulus in test trials. Results of this study indicate that the similarity of the exposure and test tasks will affect the strength of the priming effect.
