Facial recognition intoxication

Compared to their sober counterparts, intoxicated participants showed a reduced own-race bias. A researcher who was blind to the content of the beverages administered the drinks. Therefore, subjects who were intoxicated during encoding may have a lower HR and FAR to both distinctive and non-distinctive faces than those who were sober. However, under conditions in which the target is not particularly well remembered, a liberal shift in criterion placement can affect the hit rate to the same extent as the false alarm rate Wickens Statistical analyses and derivation of measures We computed the proportion of positive identifications each subject made to the six different test face types. This suggests that, regardless of whether subjects were previously intoxicated or not, their ability to correctly reject a familiar face was worse after a h delay. Subjects in the alcohol condition received three cups containing a mixture of vodka

One hundred and twenty participants engaged in a study examining the effects of intoxication control, placebo, and mild intoxication and target presence on identification performance. The influence of social factors and implicit racial bias on a generalized own-race effect. Law and Human Behavior. There are two challenges to the social cognition models a mixed evidence dealing with race accessibility, face perception, and memory and b the effects of development and training on the cross-race effect.
