(6/7) Our discoveries underscore the value of good face recognition while suggesting likely struggles associated with poor face recognition. This insight helps us to better understand and support those with varying abilities.

(7/7) We wish to thank the thousands of citizen scientists and participants — recruited in-person and online at TestMyBrain.org — whose efforts enabled the multiple replications and large samples that give solidity to these findings.

Long COVID, often reported to cause Brain Fog, may also cause #prosopagnosia #faceblindness, say researchers at Dartmouth College USA. Individuals affected can struggle to recognise even close friends and family neurosciencenews.com/face-bl…

COVID-19 Can Cause Face Blindness - Neuroscience News

Navigational problems and an increased risk of developing prosopagnosia, or face blindness, have been associated with COVID-19 infection.

Time to clear up some of the misconceptions and incorrect claims in this thread and accompanying paper:

Most brain-imaging studies make 3 questionable assumptions: mental events are localizable, map uniquely to dedicated #brain circuitry, & are independent of larger context. These 19th-century views need an update. New #OpenAccess paper in @TrendsCognSci. 1/ cell.com/trends/cognitive-sc…

Improving the study of brain-behavior relationships by revisiting basic assumptions

Most brain imaging studies present stimuli and measure behavioral responses in temporal units (trials) that are ordered randomly. Participants’ brain signals are typically aggregated to model...

Free download latest paper from @PersonPercept student Saba Siddique’s PhD. Using FPVS we found that 8-9 year old children show reliable neural responses to variations in facial trustworthiness that didn’t differ in strength from adult responses. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gT4n…

These neural responses were observed in the absence of explicit instructions to attend to facial trustworthiness. Proud supervisors & collaborators are @C_AMSutherland @DrMeenie @DerekSwe @linjef & Scott Gwinn. @UWApsych

Great to see interest in this fab new paper from @PersonPercept PhD student Saba Siddique 👍😀

In a repeated economic game, children first relied on partners' facial trustworthiness to make decisions. But by the end of the game, they had overcome this bias and switched to relying on partners' previous behavior. doi.org/10.1037/dev0001438
