Breaking face processing tasks apart to improve their predictive value in the real world: A comment on Ramon, Bobak,
1School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
Abstract:
In this commentary, I will expand on three aspects suggested by Ramon et al. (2019, British Journal of Psychology, 110, 461) to improve the predictive value of laboratory-based tasks in real-world applications. There are potential benefits that may arise from three interrelated considerations, particularly in terms of predicting agents' susceptibility to errors in operational settings. The first is a proposal to conduct a detailed examination of performance on face processing tests rather than only analysing overall accuracy scores. The second involves considering non-face-related cognitive and meta-cognitive sub-processes involved in face processing tasks. The third highlights the contribution of superior recognisers in creating challenging tests that simulate difficult real-world situations.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
