面孔识别能力的个体差异-一个眼动研究

lthough the overwhelming majority of adults are face processing experts, on face processing ability there are still widely difference between them. However, few studies focused on individual difference. The present study explored the relationship between the facial recognition ability and eye movements using a standard old/new recognition task. The results showed: There was significant negative correlation between face recognition ability and fixation duration and number in Eye area. The negative correlation could be found in both learning and recognition phases. All these implicated facial recognition ability difference not only occurred in visual encoding stage, also occurred in extraction stage. These findings suggest that the stronger facial recognition ability is affected by less interference of eyes part.In this paper
