剑桥面孔记忆测验（CFMT，Duchaine & Nakayama，2006）为新面孔学习的测试提供了一种有效的形式，并且已经成为诊断发展性面孔失认症的重要工具。然而，有些人报告日常面部识别症状与面孔失认症一致，并且在著名的面部任务中受损，在CFMT上表现正常。可能的原因包括测量误差、CFMT仅在短时间延迟下对记忆的评估，以及其种族仅与某些高加索群体匹配的面孔集。我们开发了“CFMT-澳大利亚”（CFMT-Aus），它通过使用更好地匹配不同欧洲亚群的种族来补充CFMT-原始。结果证实了可靠性（.88）和有效性（收敛，发散使用汽车，反转效应）。我们发现，面对种族内的种族有微妙的，但明确的影响，即使在正常的参与者（包括交叉互动的感知器国家的原产地在独特性评级的脸种族）的处理。我们表明，CFMT-Aus澄清诊断面容失认症在6个以前模棱两可的情况下。在3例病例中，这似乎是由于与面容失认症更好的种族匹配。我们还表明，面孔记忆在短期内（
The Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT, Duchaine & Nakayama, 2006) provides a validated format for testing novel face learning and has been a crucial instrument in the diagnosis of developmental prosopagnosia. Yet, some individuals who report everyday face recognition symptoms consistent with prosopagnosia, and are impaired on famous face tasks, perform normally on the CFMT. Possible reasons include measurement error, CFMT assessment of memory only at short delays, and a face set whose ethnicity is matched to only some Caucasian groups. We develop the "CFMT-Australian" (CFMT-Aus), which complements the CFMT-original by using ethnicity better matched to a different European subpopulation. Results confirm reliability (.88) and validity (convergent, divergent using cars, inversion effects). We show that face ethnicity within a race has subtle but clear effects on face processing even in normal participants (includes cross-over interaction for face ethnicity by perceiver country of origin in distinctiveness ratings). We show that CFMT-Aus clarifies diagnosis of prosopagnosia in 6 previously ambiguous cases. In 3 cases, this appears due to the better ethnic match to prosopagnosics. We also show that face memory at short (
