“…Our results are consistent with other findings suggesting that holistic processing is not impaired in OA (Boutet & Faubert, 2006, Exp. 4;Konar et al, 2013;Meinhardt-Injac et al, 2014;Meinhardt-Injac et al, 2017;Wiese et al, 2013).

“…Studies that have examined whether these findings extend to holistic face processing have yielded equivocal results (reviewed by Boutet et al, 2015). While some studies have provided evidence that holistic processing is comparable in OA and YA (Boutet & Faubert, 2006;Konar, Bennet, & Sekuler, 2013;Meinhardt-Injac, Boutet, Persike, Meinhardt, & Imhof, 2017;Meinhardt-Injac, Persike, & Meinhardt, 2014;Wiese, Kachel, & Schweinberger, 2013), others concluded the contrary (Boutet & Faubert, 2006, Exp. 3;Hildebrandt, Sommer, Herzmann, & Wilhelm, 2010).…”

“…A difference between congruent and incongruent trials is therefore taken as evidence of holistic processing. This difference, which is referred to as a congruency effect, is not observed for nonface objects and is sensitive to inversion (Meinhardt-Injac, 2013;Meinhardt-Injac et al, 2014).…”

“…Considering that we included watches as controls for testing Hypothesis 2, only FSF watches were used. We predicted that congruency effects would not be present for watches and significantly weaker for inverted faces across all age groups (Meinhardt-Injac et al, 2014).…”

Objectives: We simultaneously investigated the role of three hypotheses regarding age-related differences in face processing: perceptual degradation, impaired holistic processing, and an interaction between the two. Methods: Young adults (YA) aged 20-33-year olds, middle-age adults (MA) aged 50-64-year olds, and older adults (OA) aged 65-82-year olds were tested on the context congruency paradigm, which allows measurement of face-specific holistic processing across the life span (Meinhardt-Injac, Persike & Meinhardt, 2014. Acta Psychologica, 151, 155-163). Perceptual degradation was examined by measuring performance with faces that were not filtered (FSF), with faces filtered to preserve low spatial frequencies (LSF), and with faces filtered to preserve high spatial frequencies (HSF). Results: We found that reducing perceptual signal strength had a greater impact on MA and OA for HSF faces, but not LSF faces. Context congruency effects were significant and of comparable magnitude across ages for FSF, LSF, and HSF faces. By using watches as control objects, we show that these holistic effects reflect face-specific mechanisms in all age groups. Discussion: Our results support the perceptual degradation hypothesis for faces containing only HSF and suggest that holistic processing is preserved in aging even under conditions of reduced signal strength.

“…It is known that recognition memory for faces decreases with higher age (e.g., Bartlett & Leslie, 1986;Hildebrandt, Sommer, Herzmann, & Wilhelm, 2010;Wiese, Schweinberger, & Hansen, 2008;Wolff, Wiese, & Schweinberger, 2012), whereas more basic abilities of face perception (such as "holistic" or "configural" processing of faces) appear to remain largely intact (Boutet & Faubert, 2006;Konar et al, 2013;Meinhardt-Injac et al, 2014b; but see Wiese, Kachel, & Schweinberger, 2013). Using structural equation modelling to examine individual differences in face processing, Hildebrandt and colleagues (2010) reported decreases in face memory to start in the fifth decade and decreases in face perception to start in the seventh decade of life.…”

Difficulties in person recognition are among the common complaints associated with cognitive ageing. The present series of experiments therefore investigated face and person recognition in young and older adults. The authors examined how within-domain and cross-domain repetition as well as semantic priming affect familiar face recognition and analyzed both behavioral and event-related brain potential (ERP) measures to identify specific processing stages of age-related deficits. During repetition priming (Experiments 1 and 2), the authors observed evidence of an age-related deficit in behavioral priming and clear reductions of both the N250r and the N400 ERP priming effects in older participants. At the same time, both semantic priming (Experiment 3) and the associated N400 ERP effect of semantic priming were largely intact in older adults. The authors suggest that ageing selectively affects the access to domain-general representations of familiar people via bottom-up perceptual processing units. At the same time, accessing domain-general representations via top-down semantic units seems to be relatively preserved in older adults.

Metamemory can be defined as the knowledge about one's memory capabilities and about strategies that can aid memory. In this paper, we describe the development and validation of the Eyewitness Metamemory Scale (EMS), tailored specifically for use in face memory and eyewitness identification settings. Participants (N = 800) completed the EMS and other measures on general metamemory. Results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed good factorial validity, internal consistency, and content validity. The EMS items emerged into three distinct factors: memory content-
