Principal-component analyses of 4 face-recognition studies uncovered 2 independent components. The first component was strongly related to false-alarm errors with new faces as well as to facial "conjunctions" that recombine features of previously studied faces. The second component was strongly related to hits as well as to the conjunction/new difference in false-alarm errors. The pattern of loadings on both components was impressively invariant across the experiments, which differed in age range of participants, stimulus set, list length, facial orientation, and the presence versus absence of familiarized lures along with conjunction and entirely new lures in the recognition test. Taken together, the findings show that neither component was exclusively related to discrimination, criterion, configural processing, featural processing, context recollection, or familiarity. Rather, the data are consistent with a neuropsychological model that distinguishes frontal and occipitotemporal contributions to face recognition memory. Within the framework of the model, findings showed that frontal and occipitotemporal contributions are discernible from the pattern of individual differences in behavioral performance among healthy young adults.
对4项面部识别研究进行的主成分分析发现了2个独立成分。第一个成分与对新面孔的误报错误以及与重新组合先前研究面孔特征的面部“结合”密切相关。第二个成分与命中以及误报错误中的结合/新差异密切相关。在各项实验中，两个成分上的载荷模式都惊人地一致，这些实验在参与者年龄范围、刺激集、列表长度、面部朝向以及识别测试中是否存在熟悉的诱饵以及结合和全新诱饵方面存在差异。综合来看，研究结果表明，这两个成分都并非仅与辨别、标准、构型加工、特征加工、情境回忆或熟悉度相关。相反，这些数据与一种神经心理学模型一致，该模型区分了额叶和枕颞叶对面部识别记忆的贡献。在该模型的框架内，研究结果表明，从健康年轻成年人行为表现的个体差异模式中可以辨别出额叶和枕颞叶的贡献。
