Too good to be true
The AI revolution has produced synthetic faces that often appear more human than photos of real people. We tested whether individual differences in human face recognition ability explain variation in discriminating AI from real faces. Super‐recognizers – people with exceptional ability to recognize human faces ( N = 36) – outperformed a typical sample by 15% and by 7% compared to a group of higher performing, motivated control participants (Cohen…

Information sampling differences supporting superior face identity processing ability
Face recognition in humans is often cited as a model example of perceptual expertise that is characterized by an increased tendency to process faces as holistic percepts. However emerging evidence across different domains of expertise points to a critical role of feature-based processing strategies during the initial encoding of information. Here, we examined the eye-movement patterns of super-recognisers—individuals with extremely high face iden…
Optimising Calorie Intake for People With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
OBJECTIVE: To explore intervention fidelity and experiences of using a new intervention designed to optimise calorie intake in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS: A mixed-methods process evaluation was conducted alongside an ongoing randomised controlled trial across 15 ALS specialist centres in the United Kingdom. Data collection included 146 healthcare professional-completed fidelity checklists, audio recordings of 5 inter…
The state of modelling face processing in humans with deep learning
Deep learning models trained for facial recognition now surpass the highest performing human participants. Recent evidence suggests that they also model some qualitative aspects of face processing in humans. This review compares the current understanding of deep learning models with psychological models of the face processing system. Psychological models consist of two components that operate on the information encoded when people perceive a face…
Exploring trait differences in neurofeedback learners
Neurofeedback (NF) is a form of biofeedback that involves individuals monitoring and shifting brain activity towards a desired direction. The objective of this study was to investigate whether there are differences between NF learners and non-learners on psychometric traits such as the NEO PI-R personality factors, self-regulation questionnaire (SRQ) and the need for cognition scale (NFC). A total of 34 participants were randomly allocated to a s…
Best Practice Democratic Policing in Papua
The implementation of Democratic Policing across various parts of the world demonstrates the interconnectedness of changes in approaches to addressing security issues. This transformation is a result of a systemic shift from operational and managerial police systems. This research seeks to affirm this argument in the policing practices in Mimika, Papua, highlighting changes in the level of community participation in maintaining public safety and …
Butler and Hume on Religion
For over a century now, Hume’s work on religion has been better known than Butler’s. To understand the full significance of Butler and Hume in relation to each other, it is necessary to be clear about what the historical record shows. Once we have established what the record shows, we are faced with the question of what we are to make of the record. Butler, obviously, was speaking as a widely admired priest of the Church of England. Hume was spea…
Let's talk about faces
Face descriptions inform real‐world identification decisions, for example when eyewitnesses describe criminal perpetrators. However, it is unclear how effective face descriptions are for identification. Here, we examined the accuracy of face identification from verbal descriptions, and how individual differences in face perception relate to producing and using descriptions for identification. In Study 1, participants completed a face communicatio…
Partitioning natural face image variability emphasises within-identity over between-identity representation for understanding accurate recognition
Negative urgency is related to impaired response inhibition during threatening conditions
While it has been argued that impulsivity and inhibition are unrelated, previous evidence suggests that the relationship between the two can only be seen when their characteristics are closely matched. The negative urgency subscale of the UPPS-P describes impulsive action during negative affect. This was predicted to correlate more strongly with stop-signal reaction-time (SSRT) during threatening conditions than non-threatening conditions. Health…
Performance of typical and superior face recognizers on a novel interactive face matching procedure
Unfamiliar simultaneous face matching is error prone. Reducing incorrect identification decisions will positively benefit forensic and security contexts. The absence of view-independent information in static images likely contributes to the difficulty of unfamiliar face matching. We tested whether a novel interactive viewing procedure that provides the user with 3D structural information as they rotate a facial image to different orientations wou…
To which world regions does the valence-dominance model of social perception apply
Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov’s valence–dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions, it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We addressed this question by replicating Oosterhof an…
Chemsex is not a barrier to self-reported daily PrEP adherence among PROUD study participants
These analyses suggest PrEP remains a feasible and effective HIV prevention method for GBM engaging in chemsex, a practise which is prevalent in this group and has been associated with increased HIV transmission risk
Towards a ‘manifesto’ for super‐recognizer research
This article provides a response to five excellent commentaries on our article ‘Super‐recognizers: From the lab to the world and back again’. Specifically, the response summarizes commonalities between these commentaries. Based on this consensus, we propose a flexible framework for the assessment of superior face recognition and outline guiding principles to advance future work in the field
Super-recognizers
The recent discovery of individuals with superior face processing ability has sparked considerable interest amongst cognitive scientists and practitioners alike. These 'Super-recognizers' (SRs) offer clues to the underlying processes responsible for high levels of face processing ability. It has been claimed that they can help make societies safer and fairer by improving accuracy of facial identity processing in real-world tasks, for example when…
The Russian Democratic Party Yabloko
Western analysts have become increasingly concerned with President Putin's centralization and control, with the term 'managed democracy' becoming a byword for the state of the Russian polity. In this important exploration, David White examines the gradual electoral decline of Russia's leading liberal party, the Yabloko Party. In doing so, he provides fascinating insights into the role of opposition, the development of the party system and, above …

State capacity and regime resilience in Putin’s Russia
Vladimir Putin’s state-building project, which has included a ‘war on the oligarchs’, the reining in of regional power, the co-optation or marginalization of civil society and political opposition, and the establishment of a ‘power vertical’, has not been based on state strengthening but has had much more to do with regime consolidation. It is argued that, in the Russian case, the building of state capacity may not be a crucial factor in determin…
Modifying Electoral Authoritarianism. What the 2016 Parliamentary Elections Tell us about the Nature and Resilience of the Putin Regime
Through a focus on the 2016 Russian parliamentary election, this article seeks to assess the strength of the Putin regime and the nature of the system itself. In contrast to those who have heralded its imminent decline, it is argued that the regime continues to display great resilience, the election providing evidence of the regime’s adaptability and its ability to cope with challenges. The nature of the regime is also questioned. It has become c…
Examining state capacity in the context of electoral authoritarianism, regime formation and consolidation in Russia and Turkey
This paper compares the regimes of Turkey and Russia and how state capacity has facilitated authoritarian regime building at the expense of democratic consolidation. It begins by considering how best to conceptualize the Putin and Erdoğan regimes. Whilst recognizing significant differences between the two cases, we argue that the concepts of electoral authoritarianism and neopatrimonialism are particularly helpful in better understanding how both…
Not looking yourself
Photo-identification is based on the premise that photographs are representative of facial appearance. However, previous studies show that ratings of likeness vary across different photographs of the same face, suggesting that some images capture identity better than others. Two experiments were designed to examine the relationship between likeness judgments and face matching accuracy. In Experiment 1, we compared unfamiliar face matching accurac…

Political opposition in Russia
Russia witnessed an unprecedented wave of large-scale street protests during the winter of 2011–2012, following the parliamentary elections of December 2011. The protests provided further evidence of an emerging trend in Russian political opposition politics: collaboration between political and civil society. Drawing on the work of Juan Linz and Alfred Stepan, this article analyses the dynamic between political and civil society within the broad …
Re-conceptualising Russian party politics
During the 1990s, studies of Russian party politics were largely based on the expectation that parties would provide the integrative and intermediary functions that political parties were expected to perform in established democratic systems. Scholarly attention focused on the role of parties as aggregators of societal interests and the impact of presidentialism on party development. With the entrenchment of electoral authoritarianism under Vladi…
A Conceptual Analysis of the Hidden Curriculum of Police Training in England and Wales
This article examines the philosophical principles underlying police training in England and Wales. An explanation for the documented lack of progress in changing police culture is proposed. It is suggested the current vogue for “National Standards” and “Competence Frameworks” is based on a discredited technical rationality that models human systems using “machine” metaphors. Such approaches are intellectually impoverished in relation to both edu…
Dominant party systems
This article explores the problems facing opposition political parties in Russia. In order to conceptualize the conditions in which opposition parties operate and which determine the strategies they adopt, the concept of dominant party systems is used as an analytical framework. Ideological flexibility, access to administrative resources, and the ability to mobilize key socio-economic groups (key factors in the maintenance of one-party domination…

Going their own way
The failure of liberal parties to create a unified democratic reformist bloc has been a persistent feature of post-communist politics in Russia. Despite its own dwindling electoral support, the social-liberal party, Yabloko, has consistently resisted calls for unification from its economic-liberal rivals, leading to accusations that the party has hindered the development of consolidated liberal opposition to the regime. The deep-seated enmity tha…

Sexual issues and condom use among injecting drug users
Recent surveys of injecting drug users reveal that their injecting behaviours have changed in the light of HIV, but their sexual behaviours have not and, in particular, they remain reluctant to use condoms to reduce the risks of sexual transmission. In an attempt to explore this issue further the present study assessed the behaviours and attitudes of injecting drug users to sexual issues, including condom use. Condom use was low. Obstacles to the…

Evaluation of a training course on sexual counselling in a drug work setting
It has been repeatedly reported that while risks associated with the injecting behaviour of drug users has been reduced, no parallel changes have been made in sexual risk behaviour. Counselling advice to clients attending drug unit services has not focused sufficiently on the sexual behaviour of this client group. The present study evaluates the impact of a 4-day tailored training course on the counselling practices of two teams of drug workers a…
