Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Understanding person identification is crucial in social cognition.
  • Previous models suggest links between names, faces, and semantic information in memory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between remembering names, faces, and occupations.
  • To test predictions of the serial access model of person identification.

Main Methods:

  • Participants learned unfamiliar faces with names and occupations.
  • Memory recall for faces, names, and occupations was tested using various cues.

Main Results:

  • Face recall was dependent on occupation recall.
  • Name recall was also contingent on occupation recall.

Related Experiment Videos

  • No direct link was found between name and face representations in memory.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings support models where name and face information are processed independently.
    • Occupation acts as a crucial mediator in linking names and faces.
    • Mnemonic strategies can facilitate name-face associations without identity-specific semantic information.
