ABSTRACT
In an average day you may see hundreds of faces. Some are familiar and instantly identifiable faces, such as family and friends. Some faces will be familiar but will evoke little more than a name, such as some of the people in your psychology class. Other faces will be recognisable but anonymous, such as people who live at the far end of the street. We can also easily recognise unfamiliar faces – for example, you notice when a person who gets served in front of you in the newsagent gets on the same bus as you. We can even recognise if pictures of a face taken from several angles are of the same person.
