Facial Recognition and Visual Processing as We Age: Using the Thatcher Illusion with Famous and Non-Famous Faces

Abstract: This paper reports a study examining preferred visual processes in recognition of facial features in older vs younger age groups, using Thatcherised images of famous and non-famous people in the one study. The aims were to determine whether decline in visual system processing occurs increasingly as we grow older, and whether there is less decline in recognition of famous (or familiar) faces. Three groups (younger, middle-old and older) made up the sample of 73 people (aged 19-82 years). Visual decline in face … Show more

“…Tucker-Drob, Johnson, & Jones, 2009); and more. Some more specific studies have included memory decline for general vs specific details (e.g., Guerin, Robbins, Gilmore, & Schachter, 2012;Alexander, Bahr, & Hicks, 2015); and facial recognition and visual processing (e.g., Carbon & Leder, 2005;Hicks, Alexander, & Bahr, 2017). However, explicit vs implicit studies remain somewhat divided and we set about examining further what happens to these memory aspects as we age.…”
