Short article: Rapid extraction of mean identity from sets of faces
Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that the notion that the visual system can rapidly extract summary statistics from complex scenes extends to representing sets of faces in terms of mean emotion or gender. Here we show that observers can also extract a mean identity from a set of faces with different identities. Observers first saw a set of four faces with different identities and were subsequently asked whether or not a single test face had been present in the preceding set. They were significantly more likely to respond that the test face had been present in the set if it was the morphed mean of all four set faces than when it was an actual set member. This finding suggests that representations based on summary statistics are available for face identity.

“Summary processing for sets of faces is also implied by evidence that observers can determine within seconds whether or not a large set of faces is ambiguous in terms of the emotion expressed by the faces, or their gender (Simmons, Matthews, Paulus, & Stein, 2008 ; Simmons, Stein, Matthews, Feinstein, & Paulus, 2006 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
