Towards a 'manifesto' for super-recognizer research

Meike Ramon et al. Br J Psychol. 2019 Aug.

Abstract

This article provides a response to five excellent commentaries on our article 'Super-recognizers: From the lab to the world and back again'. Specifically, the response summarizes commonalities between these commentaries. Based on this consensus, we propose a flexible framework for the assessment of superior face recognition and outline guiding principles to advance future work in the field.

Keywords: Super-recognizers; face identification; face matching; face processing; face recognition; open science; replicability.
