广泛使用的两种人脸识别标准化测试都存在严重的缺陷[Duchaine，B.&Wedenfeld，A.(2003)]。对两种常用的陌生人脸识别测试进行了评估。神经心理学，41,713-720；Duchaine，B.和Nakayama，K.(2004)。发育性面孔失认症和本顿面部识别测验。神经病学，62,1219-1220]。沃灵顿人脸识别记忆测试中的图像包括大量的非面部信息，而本顿面部识别测试中的人脸同时呈现允许进行特征匹配。在这里，我们展示了一项新测试--剑桥面孔记忆测试的结果，该测试建立在以前测试的基础上。在测试中，参与者被介绍给六个目标面孔，然后对他们进行由三个面孔组成的强制选择项目的测试，其中一个是目标。对于每个目标面孔，三个测试项目包含与导言中研究的相同的观点，五个呈现新观点，四个呈现带有噪声的新观点。共有72个项目，50个对照平均为58个。为了确定这项测试是否需要识别直立面孔的特殊机制，我们进行了两个实验。我们预测，当面部图像倒置时，控制组的表现会差得多，正如预测的那样，倒置的表现要差得多，平均值为42。接下来，我们评估了八种遗忘学在直立版本上的表现是否会很差。遗忘症的平均分是37分，6名遗忘症患者的得分超出了正常范围。相比之下，沃灵顿测试和本顿测试未能将大多数面孔失认症患者归类为受损。这些结果表明，新的测试有效地评估了各种能力的人脸识别。(C)2005爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The two standardized tests of face recognition that are widely used suffer from serious shortcomings [Duchaine, B. & Weidenfeld, A. (2003). An evaluation of two commonly used tests of unfamiliar face recognition. Neuropsychologia, 41, 713-720; Duchaine, B. & Nakayama, K. (2004). Developmental prosopagnosia and the Benton Facial Recognition Test. Neurology, 62, 1219-1220]. Images in the Warrington Recognition Memory for Faces test include substantial non-facial information, and the simultaneous presentation of faces in the Benton Facial Recognition Test allows feature matching. Here, we present results from a new test, the Cambridge Face Memory Test, which builds on the strengths of the previous tests. In the test, participants are introduced to six target faces, and then they are tested with forced choice items consisting of three faces, one of which is a target. For each target face, three test items contain views identical to those studied in the introduction, five present novel views, and four present novel views with noise. There are a total of 72 items, and 50 controls averaged 58. To determine whether the test requires the special mechanisms used to recognize upright faces, we conducted two experiments. We predicted that controls would perform much more poorly when the face images are inverted, and as predicted, inverted performance was much worse with a mean of 42. Next we assessed whether eight prosopagnosics would perform poorly on the upright version. The prosopagnosic mean was 37, and six prosopagnosics scored outside the normal range. In contrast, the Warrington test and the Benton test failed to classify a majority of the prosopagnosics as impaired. These results indicate that the new test effectively assesses face recognition across a wide range of abilities. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
