Face Recognition Memory Data Across the Lifespan N approx 60,000

This is data from Experiments 1-3 of Germine, Duchaine &amp; Nakayama (2011) "Where cognitive development and aging meet: Face learning ability peaks after age 30" published in <em>Cognition</em>. In that paper, we show in three very large web-based samples that face recognition memory peaks in the early 30s, whereas similar domains of name recognition memory and inverted face recognition memory peak in the early 20s. Altogether, there are about 60,000 participants of data in these three files. The files have one line per subject, with age, gender, and scores on each of the three tests as proportion correct.

本数据集源自Germine、Duchaine与Nakayama（2011）发表于《Cognition》（《认知》）期刊的论文《Where cognitive development and aging meet: Face learning ability peaks after age 30》（《认知发展与衰老的交汇点：面孔学习能力在30岁后达到峰值》）中的实验1至实验3的数据。该研究依托三个超大规模的网络招募样本，证实面孔识别记忆能力在30岁出头时达到峰值，而姓名识别记忆与倒置面孔识别记忆这两类相似认知领域的能力峰值则出现在20岁出头阶段。上述三个数据文件共收录约6万名被试的相关数据，每个文件以单行为单位存储一名被试的信息，涵盖其年龄、性别以及三项测试的正确率得分。如需获取更多详细信息，请参阅原论文：http://www.lauragermine.org/articles/cognition2011.pdf
