The effect of real-world personal familiarity on the speed of face information processing.

<h4>Background</h4>Previous studies have explored the effects of familiarity on various kinds of visual face judgments, yet the role of familiarity in face processing is not fully understood. Across different face judgments and stimulus sets, the data is equivocal as to whether or not fa...
