心理学研究表明，人类无法准确地匹配不熟悉的面孔。这提出了一个实际问题，因为在各种职业设置中的身份验证过程依赖于人们可靠地执行这些任务。在这种情况下，令人惊讶的是，很少有研究试图提高人类的表现。在这里，我们研究了在不同的群体中分配面孔匹配任务是否有助于解决这个问题。在四项研究中，我们在一项标准的人脸匹配能力测试中测量了“人群”的准确性，发现汇总个人的反应会大大提高匹配的准确性。我们讨论了这一结果的实际意义，并提出了这种方法可以用来提高我们对面部感知的理解的方法。版权所有©2013 John Wiley & Sons， Ltd
Psychological research shows that humans can not reliably match unfamiliar faces. This presents a practical problem, because identity verification processes in a variety of occupational settings depend on people to perform these tasks reliably. In this context, it is surprising that very few studies have attempted to improve human performance. Here, we investigate whether distributing face matching tasks across groups of individuals might help to solve this problem. Across four studies, we measure the accuracy of the ‘crowd’ on a standard test of face matching ability and find that aggregating individual responses produces substantial gains in matching accuracy. We discuss the practical implications of this result and also suggest ways in which this approach might be used to improve our understanding of face perception more generally.
