我们测试了四个人，他们声称自己的面部识别能力明显优于普通人。在每一个案例中都证实了非凡的能力。在两个非常不同的人脸识别测试中，所有四个实验对象的表现都超出了控制对象的表现范围。他们在面孔知觉辨别测试中的得分也明显高于平均水平。这种影响是更大的直立比倒置的脸，和四个科目表现出更大的“反转效应”比对照组，谁又表现出更大的反转效应比发展prosopagnosics。这表明面部识别能力和反转效应的大小之间的关联。总的来说，这些“超级识别者”在面部识别和感知方面的表现与发育性面容失认症的表现一样好。我们的研究结果证明了具有非常好的面部识别能力的人的存在，并表明面部识别和面部感知能力的范围比以前承认的更广。
We tested four people who claimed to have significantly better than ordinary face recognition ability. Exceptional ability was confirmed in each case. On two very different tests of face recognition, all four experimental subjects performed beyond the range of control subject performance. They also scored significantly better than average on a perceptual discrimination test with faces. This effect was larger with upright than inverted faces, and the four subjects showed a larger ‘inversion effect’ than control subjects, who in turn showed a larger inversion effect than developmental prosopagnosics. This indicates an association between face recognition ability and the magnitude of the inversion effect. Overall, these ‘super-recognizers’ are about as good at face recognition and perception as developmental prosopagnosics are bad. Our findings demonstrate the existence of people with exceptionally good face recognition ability, and show that the range of face recognition and face perception ability is wider than previously acknowledged.
