The Glasgow Face Matching Test

Abstract: We describe a new test for unfamiliar face matching, the Glasgow Face Matching Test (GFMT). Viewers are shown pairs of faces, photographed in full-face view but with different cameras, and are asked to make same/ different judgments. The full version of the test comprises 168 face pairs, and we also describe a shortened version with 40 pairs. We provide normative data for these tests derived from large subject samples. We also describe associations between the GFMT and other tests of matching and memory. The n… Show more

“…Our results seem to contradict this, with the CFMT emerging as a good predictor of both face‐matching and recognition accuracy. This discrepancy is most likely due to methodological differences between the CFMT and the memory task used in the study by Burton et al (2010). The CFMT gradually familiarises participants with multiple faces and introduces different viewpoints at study and test making on‐line feature matching impossible.…”

“…Similar results were reported in a recent study by White et al (2014). The authors found that performance on the Glasgow Face Matching Test (Burton, White and McNeill, 2010) was a good predictor of performance on a photograph‐to‐person matching task, although this finding only emerged for mismatched trials given there were ceiling effects on matched trials. Our study extends these findings by showing that the CFMT, a standardised test widely used in face recognition research, might also be useful for forensic practice.…”

“…This resonates with the consistent finding that face matching is also error‐prone when an a priori judgment is not provided (e.g., Burton et al., 2010; Fysh & Bindemann, 2018). This raises additional concerns surrounding the identification accuracy of human operators of e‐Gates when the system cannot adequately resolve a person with their passport photograph (FRONTEX, 2015a).…”

“…All images were 15° (13.5 cm) vertically and ranged from 6.3° to 13.5° horizontally. The faces of 59 Caucasian men, taken from the Glasgow Unfamiliar Face Database (GUFD: Burton, White & McNeill, 2010), were cropped to remove background detail and head hair, and all were free of non-face distinguishing features (e.g., tattoos, glasses and jewellery). The database contained two sets of greyscale photographs, representing the same identities taken with different cameras (camera sets 1 and 2) and from various viewpoints.…”
