Saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements trigger equivalent gaze-cued orienting effects

Journal Article
Langton, S. R., McIntyre, A. H., Hancock, P. J., & Leder, H. (2018)
Saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements trigger equivalent gaze-cued orienting effects. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 17470218.2017.1. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2017.1362703
Research has established that a perceived eye gaze produces a concomitant shift in a viewer’s spatial attention in the direction of that gaze. The two experiments reported her...

Holistic face processing can inhibit recognition of forensic facial composites.

Journal Article
Hancock, P. J. B., Frowd, C. D., Langton, S. R. H., & McIntyre, A. H. (2016)
Holistic face processing can inhibit recognition of forensic facial composites. Law and Human Behavior, 40(2), 128-135. https://doi.org/10.1037/lhb0000160
Facial composite systems help eyewitnesses to show the appearance of criminals. However, likenesses created by unfamiliar witnesses will not be completely accurate, and peopl...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of seven variables that emerge from forensic research on facial-composite construction and naming using contempora...

Developmentally distinct gaze processing systems: Luminance versus geometric cues.

Journal Article
Doherty, M. J., McIntyre, A. H., & Langton, S. R. (2015)
Developmentally distinct gaze processing systems: Luminance versus geometric cues. Cognition, 137, 72-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2015.01.001
Two experiments examined how the different cues to gaze direction contribute to children’s abilities to follow and make explicit judgements about gaze. In each study participa...

Improving Discrimination and Face Matching with Caricature: Improving face matching with caricature

Journal Article
McIntyre, A. H., Hancock, P. J. B., Kittler, J., & Langton, S. R. H. (2013)
Improving Discrimination and Face Matching with Caricature: Improving face matching with caricature. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 27(6), 725-734. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.2966
Summary: Identification of faces from photographs is a common security measure, but matching unfamiliar faces produces high rates of error. Caricatures of familiar people are ...

Whole-face procedures for recovering facial images from memory.

Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Skelton, F. C., Hepton, G., Holden, L., Minahil, S., Pitchford, M., …Hancock, P. J. B. (2013)

Research has indicated that traditional methods for accessing facial memories usually yield unidentifiable images. Recent research, however, has made important improvements i...

Interviewing techniques for Darwinian facial-composite systems.

Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Nelson, L., Skelton, F. C., Noyce, R., Atkins, R., Heard, P., …Hancock, P. J. B. (2012)
Interviewing techniques for Darwinian facial-composite systems. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 26, 576-584. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.2829
Eyewitnesses are often asked to describe the appearance of an offender’s face, normally as part of a cognitive interview (CI), and then to construct a facial composite of it b...

Understanding the multiframe caricature advantage for recognizing facial composites.

Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Skelton, F. C., Atherton, C., Pitchford, M., Bruce, V., Atkins, R., …Hancock, P. J. B. (2012)
