facial/name/object recognition quiz thing

Face Recognition Memory

In the face recognition test, you were asked to learn the faces of 10 women. When you were tested on these faces, you had to indicate whether a face on the screen was one you learned or one that you hadn't seen before.

Out of 20 familiar faces, you correctly responded that you had seen 12 faces before.

Out of 30 unfamiliar faces, you correctly responded that you had NOT seen 23 faces before.

Overall, you got 70% correct! The average score on this test is 85% correct. Your percentile rank on this test was 4.


Object Recognition Memory

In the object recognition test, you were asked to memorize 10 images of eyeglasses. When you were tested on these eyeglasses, you had to indicate whether a pair of eyeglasses on the screen was one you learned or one that you hadn't seen before.

Out of 20 familiar eyeglasses, you correctly responded that you had seen 20 eyeglasses before.

Out of 30 unfamiliar eyeglasses, you correctly responded that you had NOT seen 24 eyeglasses before.

Overall, you got 88% correct! The average score on this test is 86% correct. Your percentile rank on this test was 55.


Verbal Recognition Memory

In the verbal recognition test, you were asked to learn the names of 12 men. When you were tested on these names, you had to indicate which of four names was one of the names that you had learned.

Out of 12 sets of names, you correctly chose the familiar name11 times.

It's kind of funny how you are 'worse' at recognizing faces than me - you don't know if you've seen the face before, and I'm pretty much convinced I haven't, either way.

I'm near-perfect at faces (and knew it), fairly decent at objects (I did catch all 20, but I was randomly guessing), and below average on names (accurate; since I usually read last names for first and last letters and don't pay attention to internal spelling this quiz was exactly my weakness).

I'm below average at all - 3rd percentile for faces, 25th or so for objects, and 48th for names. Damn!

I'm not at all surprised I suck at face recognition. But I did better than expected on the glasses, awesome :D

Heh, we are studying the difference between face and object processing in the visual system right now in my Cog Neurosci class. It's fun! I'm wondering why they included verbal recognition...maybe something about feature processing? I'm gonna go try it now :)
