Three experiments are reported in which the effects of viewpoint on the recognition of distinctive and typical faces were explored. Specifically, we investigated whether generalization across views would be better for distinctive faces than for typical faces. In Experiment 1 the time to match different views of the same typical faces and the same d...
Although previous studies have demonstrated that faces of one's own race are recognized more accurately than are faces of other races, the theoretical basis of this effect is not clearly understood at present. The experiment reported in this paper tested the contact hypothesis of the own-race bias in face recognition using a cross-cultural design....

... Several explanations have developed to understand the mechanisms behind the ORB. The contact hypothesis suggests that people gain expertise in recognising those they have more frequent social interactions with, but struggle to then recognise people from races with which they have less frequent interactions (Chiroro and Valentine 1995;Meissner and Brigham 2001;Singh et al. 2021). According to the contact hypothesis, the amount of contact people have with individuals of another race will positively correlate with recognition accuracy for faces of that race (Brigham and Malpass 1985). ...

... Various research have explored the effect of context and image distinctiveness on memorability. It was shown that distinctive faces are recognized better than typical faces 12 . Another work has demonstrated that people tend to memorize faces rated as unusual in appearance better than typical faces [13][14][15] . ...
