This study investigated repetition priming in face recognition using an instance model. Findings support the instance model, showing power function speedup in response time distributions for familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human Memory

Background:

  • Repetition priming is a cognitive phenomenon where prior exposure to a stimulus enhances subsequent processing.
  • Existing models, like Logan's instance model, predict specific patterns in response time distributions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine repetition priming effects in face recognition.
  • To test predictions of Logan's instance model regarding response time distributions.
  • To investigate priming for both familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted using eight presentation trials.
  • Experiment 1 involved repeated presentations of the same face photograph.
  • Experiment 2 used photographs of faces with varying poses.

Main Results:

  • Repetition priming effects were observed for both familiar and unfamiliar faces.
  • Power function speedup was found in the mean and standard deviation of response times.
  • Power function speedup was also evident in the quantiles of the response time distributions.

Conclusions:

  • The results align with predictions from Logan's instance model.
  • The findings present a challenge for alternative theoretical explanations of repetition priming in face recognition.
