Recognizing Familiar Faces: A Test Of Memory And Perception

Using a strong test of performance with entirely novel, untrained everyday images, we show that such a model can simulate widely documented effects of familiarity in face. Together, our results suggest that the neuronal population geometry, quantified by the representational distance, encodes face familiarity, similarity, and learning, forming the. However, in this review we focus on the evidence, available from experimental investigations of how people recognise faces, for different types of representation existing for each type of face. In two experiments, we investigated the effect of prior familiarity on recognition memory. Faces were familiarized through exposure to images that included a wide range of.
