人脸识别能力差异很大。虽然儿童中存在面部识别缺陷的报道，但尚不清楚在发育过程中是否会遇到卓越的面部识别技能。本文介绍了一位 14 岁女性 O.B.，她拥有非凡的面部识别能力：“超级识别者”（SR）。 O.B.在多项任务中表现出了卓越的面部处理技能，其表现水平可与成人 SR 相媲美。她的卓越能力似乎特定于面部识别：她表现出夸张的面部反转效果，并且她的卓越能力并未扩展到对象处理或面部识别的非身份方面。最后，眼球运动任务证明 O.B.比对照组花费更多的时间检查鼻子——这是以前在成人 SR 中报道的模式。 O.B.因此，特别擅长提取和使用特定于身份的面部线索，这表明面部和物体识别在发育过程中是分离的，并且超级识别可以在青春期检测到。
Face recognition abilities vary widely. While face recognition deficits have been reported in children, it is unclear whether superior face recognition skills can be encountered during development. This paper presents O.B., a 14-year-old female with extraordinary face recognition skills: a "super-recognizer" (SR). O.B. demonstrated exceptional face-processing skills across multiple tasks, with a level of performance that is comparable to adult SRs. Her superior abilities appear to be specific to face identity: She showed an exaggerated face inversion effect and her superior abilities did not extend to object processing or non-identity aspects of face recognition. Finally, an eye-movement task demonstrated that O.B. spent more time than controls examining the nose - a pattern previously reported in adult SRs. O.B. is therefore particularly skilled at extracting and using identity-specific facial cues, indicating that face and object recognition are dissociable during development, and that super recognition can be detected in adolescence.
