When Russel et al. first introduced the term 'super-recogniser' (SR), they observed that 'super-recognizers are about as good as many developmental prosopagnosics are bad', with regard to both face perception and recognition (Russell et al., 2009). As Meike Ramon reports in her Viewpoint in this issue (Ramon, 2021), SRs have since been the focus of considerable media attention and some 25 papers. Still, the term lacks a uniform operational definition, risking the comparison of apples and oranges. Thus, Ramon proposes a clear rule for qualifying someone as SR, which is precise enough for standardisation but at the same time affords flexibility. She also makes a strong case for open research practices and documentation, underscored by her exemplary presentation of 70 cases.
当 Russell 等人首次引入“超级识别者”（SR）这一术语时，他们观察到，“超级识别者在面孔感知和识别方面的表现几乎和许多发展性面孔失认症患者的表现一样糟糕”（Russell 等人，2009 年）。正如 Meike Ramon 在本期观点中所报道的（Ramon，2021 年），此后，SR 一直是媒体关注的焦点，相关研究论文约有 25 篇。尽管如此，这个术语仍然缺乏一个统一的操作定义，这使得比较变得困难，如同比较苹果和橙子。因此，Ramon 提出了一个明确的标准来定义某人是否为 SR，这个标准足够精确，可以实现标准化，但同时又具有一定的灵活性。她还强烈支持开放的研究实践和记录，她通过对 70 个案例的典范展示，强调了这一点。
