Abstract：
The faces we see in daily life exist on a continuum of familiarity, ranging from personally familiar to famous to unfamiliar faces. Thus, when assessing face recognition abilities, adequate evaluation measures should be employed to discriminate between each of these processes and their relative impairments. We here developed the Italian Famous Face Test (IT-FFT), a novel assessment tool for famous face recognition in typical and clinical populations. Normative data on a large sample (N = 436) of Italian individuals were collected, assessing both familiarity (d\') and recognition accuracy. Furthermore, this study explored whether individuals possess insights into their overall face recognition skills by correlating the Prosopagnosia Index-20 (PI-20) with the IT-FFT; a negative correlation between these measures suggests that people have a moderate insight into their face recognition skills. Overall, our study provides the first online-based Italian test for famous faces (IT-FFT), a test that could be used alongside other standard tests of face recognition because it complements them by evaluating real-world face familiarity, providing a more comprehensive assessment of face recognition abilities. Testing different aspects of face recognition is crucial for understanding both typical and atypical face recognition.
摘要：
我们在日常生活中看到的面孔存在于熟悉的连续统一体中，从个人熟悉的名人到陌生的面孔。因此，在评估面部识别能力时，应采用适当的评估措施来区分每个过程及其相对损害。我们在这里开发了意大利著名的面部测试（IT-FFT），一种用于典型和临床人群中著名面部识别的新型评估工具。收集了大样本(N=436)意大利个体的规范数据，评估熟悉度(d')和识别准确性。此外，这项研究通过将ProsopagnosiaIndex-20（PI-20）与IT-FFT相关联，探讨了个人是否对其整体面部识别技能具有洞察力；这些指标之间的负相关表明人们对其面部识别技能具有中等洞察力。总的来说,我们的研究提供了第一个在线意大利著名面孔测试（IT-FFT），一种可以与其他标准面部识别测试一起使用的测试，因为它通过评估现实世界的面部熟悉程度来补充它们，提供更全面的人脸识别能力评估。测试人脸识别的不同方面对于理解典型和非典型人脸识别至关重要。
