It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.
1. They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen. 2. But studies show that at least one person in every recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.
Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find out recognizers have a different way to process feces. They have found that when these people look a faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 3. Their super ability is limited only to face recognition.
4. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present pairs of feces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.
In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at “spotting” (发现) faces in a crowd. These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas. 5. Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage (闭路电视镜头). They could also help police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.
A. However, studies have found a small number of people have amazing face recognition skills.
B. Researchers have tried to find how certain people are so good at recognizing faces.
C. It is also found that these people are not particularly smarter than others.
D. It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.
E. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.
F. The research also found that in general these super recognizers have a good memory.
G. Another important finding is that there are subtypes of super recognition.
