Different groups of adults were tested at six different points in time during the pandemic. In addition, the researchers tested the same group near the start of the pandemic and 12 months later. In both the cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, adults showed absolutely no increase in their ability to recognize masked faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous research \u2013 using the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT), which as considered as the standard to tap face recognition abilities \u2013 showed that adults\u2019 facial recognition abilities decreased by about 15 per cent when the person wore a mask. Face masks also interfere with how unmasked faces are processed \u2013 which is normally made in a holistic manner, rather than by the individual parts of the face. This new study not only used the CFMT, but also the Glasgow Face Match Test, an additional measure of face perception, to determine if anything changed since the last study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis shows that face processing in humans, at least in adults, is rigid even after prolonged real-life exposure to partially covered faces,\u201d says Freud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Face sensitivity first shows up in newborns who exhibit a preference for faces or things that look similar to a face, and especially to familiar faces. In contrast to the mature face processing system, repeated exposure to faces as a child plays an important role in refining the face processing system, which continues to develop until the end of puberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freud says it would be interesting to see if children\u2019s ability to recognize masked faces changes over time with exposure, and whether the pandemic has interfered with their normal ability to recognize faces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers find the face processing system in adults is rigidly fixed, according to a new study led by
