报道了三个实验，其中比较了整个面部或内部或外部特征的面部识别。在第一个实验中，面孔是名人，发现了从内部特征进行识别的优势。然而，在涉及陌生面孔的第二个实验中，当受试者被给予内部或外部特征时，识别率没有差异。在第三个实验中，出现了著名的面孔，并将其与其他著名的面孔混合进行识别测试。与实验 1 一样，与外部特征相比，内部特征的识别效果更好。有人认为，熟悉面孔的内部表征可能与只见过一次的面孔有质的不同。特别是，熟悉面孔的内部或“表达”特征可能会在特征显着性方面产生一些优势。这些结果的含义被认为与面部感知和识别的一般理论有关。
Three experiments are reported in which recognition of faces from whole faces or internal or external features was compared. In the first experiment, where the faces were of famous people, an advantage was found for identification from internal features. In the second experiment involving unfamiliar faces, however, no difference was found in recognition rates when subjects were given the internal or the external features. In a third experiment famous faces were presented and mixed with other famous faces for a recognition test. As in experiment 1, better recognition occurred from internal as compared with external features. It is argued that the internal representation for familiar faces may be qualitatively different from that for faces seen just once. In particular some advantage in feature saliency may accrue to the internal or ‘expressive’ features of familiar faces.The implications of these results are considered in relation to general theories of face perception and recognition.
