Face recognition is used to prove identity across a wide variety of settings.
Despite this, research consistently shows that people are typically rather poor
at matching faces to photos. Some professional groups, such as police and
passport officers, have been shown to perform just as poorly as the general
public on standard tests of face recognition. However, face recognition skills
are subject to wide individual variation, with some people showing exceptional
ability-a group that has come to be known as 'super-recognisers'. The
Metropolitan Police Force (London) recruits 'super-recognisers' from within its
ranks, for deployment on various identification tasks. Here we test four working
super-recognisers from within this police force, and ask whether they are really
able to perform at levels above control groups. We consistently find that the
police 'super-recognisers' perform at well above normal levels on tests of
unfamiliar and familiar face matching, with degraded as well as high quality
images. Recruiting employees with high levels of skill in these areas, and
allocating them to relevant tasks, is an efficient way to overcome some of the
known difficulties associated with unfamiliar face recognition.
