Previous research has explored relationships between individual performance in the detection, matching and memory of faces, but under limiting conditions. The current study sought to extend previous findings with a different measure of face detection, and a more challenging face matching task, in combination with an established test of face memory. Experiment 1 tested face detection ability under conditions designed to maximise individual differences in accuracy but did not find evidence for relationships between measures. In addition, in Experiments 2 and 3, which utilised response times as the primary performance measure for face detection, but accuracy for face matching and face memory, no correlations were observed between performance on face detection and the other tasks. However, there was a correlation between accuracy in face matching and face memory, consistent with other research. Together, these experiments provide further evidence for a dissociation between face detection, and face matching and face memory, but suggest that these latter tasks share some common mechanisms.
先前的研究探讨了个体在面部检测、匹配和记忆方面的表现之间的关系，但都是在有限的条件下进行的。当前的研究试图通过一种不同的面部检测测量方法、一个更具挑战性的面部匹配任务以及一项既定的面部记忆测试来扩展先前的研究结果。实验1在旨在使准确性的个体差异最大化的条件下测试了面部检测能力，但没有发现测量指标之间存在关联的证据。此外，在实验2和实验3中，将反应时间作为面部检测的主要表现指标，而将准确性作为面部匹配和面部记忆的指标，未观察到面部检测表现与其他任务之间存在相关性。然而，面部匹配的准确性与面部记忆之间存在相关性，这与其他研究一致。这些实验共同为面部检测与面部匹配和面部记忆之间的分离提供了进一步的证据，但表明后两项任务共享一些共同机制。
