“…Consistent with prior research (Bernstein et al, 2007;Levin, 1996;MacLin & Malpass, 2001, response times for racial categorization of other-race faces were both directly and indirectly associated with perceptual discrimination and recognition memory performance of other-race faces. The importance of racial categorization as a governing factor in the recognition of other-race faces is noteworthy and suggests that categorization processes associated with "out group" labeling can disrupt the successful encoding of individuating facial information.…”

“…Second, a significant difference was observed in the path from racial categorization to recognition accuracy, z = 2.87, p < .01. Consistent with prior research (Bernstein et al, 2007;Hugenberg et al, 2007;Hugenberg & Sacco, 2008;Levin, 1996;MacLin & Malpass, 2001, reaction times for categorization responses to other-race faces were more positively associated with recognition accuracy for other-race faces, such that quicker classification responses were associated with less accurate recognition performance (cf. Levin, 1996).…”

“…However, such racial categorization effects are not generally seen with own-race (i.e., in-group) faces. Thus, Levin argues that there is a cost to racial categorization of other-race faces in individuals" subsequent ability to recognize or discriminate amongst similar faces (see also, MacLin & Malpass, 2001.…”

“…(e.g. MacLin, MacLin & Malpass, 2001;Read, Vokey & Hammersley, 1990;Reynolds & Pezdek, 1992). It is therefore possible that our low-variability images mimic repeated presentation of single images in viewers' perceptions, though we think it unlikely (see figure 3A).…”

Research on face learning has tended to use sets of images that vary systematically on dimensions such as pose and illumination. In contrast, we have proposed that exposure to naturally varying images of a person may be a critical part of the familiarization process. Here, we present two experiments investigating face learning with “ambient images”—relatively unconstrained photos taken from internet searches. Participants learned name and face associations for unfamiliar identities presented in high or low within-person variability—that is, images of the same person returned by internet search on their name (high variability) versus different images of the same person taken from the same event (low variability). In Experiment 1 we show more accurate performance on a speeded name verification task for identities learned in high than in low variability, when the test images are completely novel photos. In Experiment 2 we show more accurate performance on a face matching task for identities previously learned in high than in low variability. The results show that exposure to a large range of within-person variability leads to enhanced learning of new identities.

“…Though we may not pause to think much about these perceptions, they influence our impressions and judgments of others (eg Blair et al 2004b). Sometimes these perceptions have serious consequences for both the targets (Blair et al 2004a;Eberhardt et al 2006) and the perceivers (such as in the case of eyewitness testimonyöeg MacLin et al 2001).…”

Personality in Perspective: Judgmental Consistency across Orientations of the Face

Introduction Whether sitting on a park bench, passing on the street, or stealing glances in a bar, we are constantly forming impressions of others (Ambady et al 2000). These impressions are rarely based on head-on encounters. Rather, we use the information available to us, and our impressions are often based on glimpses of people in profile or other partial views. There have been numerous studies on impressions from faces, usually as observed from frontal views (see Zebrowitz 1997). As a result, few of these studies have examined inferences made from limited informationösuch as partial views of the face. Most typically, what we know about judgments of others from their faces comes from examinations of the full-frontal view. In the current work, we explored inferences of personality from three-quarter and profile views of the face, as compared against full-frontal view (control). Several previous studies have explored inferences of personality from individuals' faces. In one study, Zebrowitz et al (1993) found consensus in ratings of a multitude of personality (dominance, warmth, physical strength, honesty, shrewdness) and physiognomic (attractiveness and facial maturity) traits for White American, Black American, and Korean targets judged from frontal views of faces. In addition, they showed that these judgments were consistent across raters for perceivers from both cultures. In addition, Albright et al (1997) found that judgments of Big-5 personality traits (culture, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability) and attractiveness were judged consistently by both American and Chinese perceivers for faces from their own culture and extraversion and agreeableness were judged consistently across cultures. Recently, judgments of personality from the face have been found to predict important outcomes. For example, judgments of competence from the face have been shown to successfully predict the outcome of American political elections (Todorov et al 2005). Similarly, judgments of power (as composed of competence, dominance, and
