任何试图揭示人类面部识别过程背后机制的尝试都必须从探索人类对感知图像和原始记忆痕迹之间差异的敏感性的实验开始。一组三个连续的实验被集体设计来衡量不同面部特征的相对重要性。该方法涉及使用图像处理设备来交换正面观察的目标面部之间的基本特征。观察者被要求指出哪张原始目标脸与修改后的脸最相似。结果清楚地确立了头部轮廓作为主要识别特征的主导影响。其次重要的是眼睛和眉毛的组合，其次是嘴，然后是鼻子。作为正面脸的识别特征，鼻子几乎不被注意到。对某些面孔的明显随机反应的数量表明，有时旧特征的偶然组合可能会产生令人惊讶的不同面孔。
Any attempt to unravel the mechanism underlying the process of human face recognition must begin with experiments that explore human sensitivity to differences between a perceived image and an original memory trace. A set of three consecutive experiments are reported that were collectively designed to measure the relative importance of different facial features. The method involved the use of image-processing equipment to interchange cardinal features among frontally viewed target faces. Observers were required to indicate which of the original target faces most resembled the modified faces. The results clearly establish the dominant influence of the head outline as the major recognition feature. Next in importance is the eye/eyebrow combination, followed by the mouth, and then the nose. As a recognition feature in a frontally presented face, the nose is hardly noticed. The number of apparently random responses to some faces indicates that a surprisingly different face can sometimes arise from a fortuitous combination of the old features.
