Abstract

Richard Russell, Pawan Sinha, 2007 “Real-world face recognition: The importance of surface reflectance properties” Perception 36(9) 1368–1374

On page 1368 the first sentence of the abstract reads:

“The face recognition task we performed most often in everyday experience is the identification of people with whom we are familiar.”

It should read:

“The face recognition task we perform most often in everyday experience is the identification of people with whom we are familiar.”

Also on page 1368 the final sentence in the first paragraph of the introduction reads: “Recent studies using computer graphics (O'Toole et al 1999b; Russell et al 2006, 2007) and facial transplants conducted on cadavers (Siemionow and Agaoglu 2006) the relative utility of shape and surface reflectance information for recognizing unfamiliar faces has been investigated, and found evidence that they are about equally useful.”

It should read:

“Recent studies using computer graphics (O'Toole et al 1999b; Russell et al 2006, 2007) and facial transplants conducted on cadavers (Siemionow and Agaoglu 2006) investigated the relative utility of shape and surface reflectance information for recognizing unfamiliar faces, and found evidence that they are about equally useful.
