Hi -
I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find the answer to this simple question.
Do you know of any research that addresses the question of "HOW MANY FACES THE TYPICAL PERSON CAN RECOGNIZE?" Not identify by name, but recognize. Bahrick's work examines the durability of face memories over time, but I'm more interested in an estimate of the sheer number. A cold beverage of your choice to the person that can help. Thanks.

The Psychology Division at the University of Stirling aims to offer up to two funded PhD studentships commencing 2014. These will be allocated in an open competition and postgraduates will be based in one of the three research groups in Psychology: Cognition in Complex Environments, Health and Behaviour Change, or Behaviour and Evolution. Further information can be found on the following link:
http://www.stir.ac.uk/natural-sciences/news/2014/psy-studentships/name-6608…
I'd be pleased to hear from anyone interested in doing a PhD in face perception, with my particular interest being in how our recognition works, perhaps doing some computational modelling
Other colleagues here working on face perception:
Tony Little - social perception
Sarah Vick - expression perception
Stephen Langton - gaze perception

Hi Jim,
I would be interested too.
Is it possible to have access to your database?

Hi Natalie,
We've collected and normed a fairly large of
child facial expressions that we currently compiling into
the "JimStim" database. The expressions are
shot in the frontal view.
I've invited you to a Dropbox where you can
download the images. Hope they are helpful to your
students.

[Face-research-list] Child facial expression
database
Dear All,
I am currently running
student research projects on facial expression recognition.
The students choose the direction they take that topic in
and one group is interested in recognition of children’s
facial expressions. I am struggling to
find a good database displaying the 6 basic emotions and a
neutral image. Does anyone have a set of stimuli they can
share with me?
I have looked into the
DANVA set but the website doesn’t seem to be working
properly and I have downloaded the Radbound database but the
images labelled as ‘frontal’ aren’t frontal they are
all profile views.
Many thanks for your
advice,
Best wishes
Natalie

info morphed faces of children
CONTINUA CON MODIFICAIGNORA

Dear face research list,
My name is Anita Montagna and I am a PhD student working at the Centre for the Developing Brain (King's College London) about late consequences of preterm birth.
I will study a sample of 4 and 8 years old children assessing executive function and emotional processing.
I would like to ask them to complete a task of emotion recognition of face expressions.
My group is using the Emotion Recognition task developed by Montagne ( Montagne, B., Kessels, R. P., De Haan, E. H., & Perrett, D. I. (2007). THE EMOTION RECOGNITION TASK: A PARADIGM TO MEASURE THE PERCEPTION OF FACIAL EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS AT DIFFERENT INTENSITIES 1. Perceptual and motor skills, 104(2), 589-598.).
I am looking for something similar but suitable for preschoolers, with children faces and possibly with different intensities of the emotions.
The task used in this paper - Georgia Chronakia*, Matthew Garnerc, Julie A. Hadwina, Margaret J. J. Thompsona, Cheryl Y. Chind & Edmund J. S. Sonuga-Barkeab*
Emotion-recognition abilities and behavior problem dimensions in preschoolers: Evidence for a specific role for childhood hyperactivity.
Child Neuropsychology - is similar to the DANVA task but uses adult female faces.
Do you know about any test using children morphed faces? Or about a database of stimuli using children morphed faces?
I am looking for happy, fear, angry (and sad) faces.
I thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Anita
Dear All,
There is currently a PhD scholarship (AUD$30,000 per annum for 3.5 years)
available for a student to work with me, Dr Ans Vercammen and Professor
Peter Rendell on a project examining the development and decline of social
cognition and emotion processing. The successful applicant would be based
in Sydney at the Australian Catholic University's Sydney (Strathfield)
campus. See project description below.
Could I please ask for your assistance in forwarding this email to anyone
who may be a suitable applicant, or who may know someone else who would be?
Potential applicants should contact me in the first instance at
Megan.Willis(a)acu.edu.au
Many thanks,
Megan
*Project Title: *The Development and Decline of Social Cognition and
Emotion Processing
*Project Description:* This project will examine how the capacity to
recognise emotion in others, and the ability to use this information to
guide social behaviour develops in childhood and declines in older
adulthood. More specifically, this project will focus on investigating the
cognitive, neural and physiological mechanisms that underpin social
cognitive abilities and emotion processing. With a particular view to
understanding the way in which these capacities develop throughout
childhood and decline in older adulthood. The project will employ a range
of methodologies, including skin conductance responses (SCR), facial
electromyography (EMG) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Hi,
I need a set of young male (aged roughly 18-30) full-frontal Chinese faces, with a neutral expression, for an experiment on lineups. William Hayward has already kindly allowed me to use his database of Chinese faces, but I need more examples. Any faces that fit these specifications would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Graham Hole,

PhD studentship in Face Recognition.
University of Aberdeen, School of Psychology
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work with Professor Mike Burton. Candidates should hold a First or Upper Second class degree in Psychology, Computing Science, or a related subject. The studentship is funded by the European Research Council, and will cover three years’ fees and stipend for UK/EU students only.
To apply, please send a CV and letter of application to Joanne Brebner, at the School of Psychology, University of Aberdeen, (j.brebner(a)abdn.ac.uk<mailto:j.brebner@abdn.ac.uk>). Informal enquiries prior to application may be made to Mike Burton: m.burton(a)abdn.ac.uk<mailto:m.burton@abdn.ac.uk> or 01224 273930. The closing date is 31 January 2014.
Further Information: This studentship is part of a large-scale project on face recognition. We are studying the ways in which faces become familiar, specifically by examining the variability among different images of the same face. The student will work within a team employing both experimental and computer simulation techniques, and so some programming experience would be an advantage. The conditions of funding require that this studentship must start on or before 1 June 2014.
The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683.
