摘要
We report on two experiments that investigated the role of facial motion in the recognition of degraded famous face images. The results of thgese experiments suggest that seeing a face move is advantageous for the correct recognition of identity. This effect is not solely due to the extra static-based information contained in a moving sequence but is also due to additional dynamic information available from a moving face. Furthermore, famous faces were recognized more accurately when the original dynamic characteristics of the motion were maintained (Experiment 1), compared to when either the tempo or the direction of motion were altered (Experiment 2). It is suggested that there may be general benefit for viewing naturally moving faces, not specific benefit to any particular face identity. Alternatively, individual faces may have associated characteristic motion signatures.
