This is a really important paper. I don't know what the RMET (Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test) measures, and neither does anyone else. There is very little evidence for its validity as a measure of "empathy" or other constructs it's purported to measure. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Professor @JoshPDavis1 from @ILD_Greenwich @UniofGreenwich on @drdayanoff's Argentinian podcast talking about super-recognisers, music, facial composites, miscarriages of justice, and human 'super-spotters' of counterfeit currency.
Thanks @drdayanoff An enjoyable Argentinian podcast. We discussed super-recognisers, research, teaching, and my job in a bank's bullion exchange.
Machine-aided counterfeit currency "super-spotters" uncannily ID'd $100 fakes from slight colour drops, hard for others to discern.
(Usando el traductor de Google). Esas son puntuaciones excepcionalmente buenas. Es imposible superar 40 de 40. Lograr 99 de 102 y 58 de 60 es muy raro.
Deberías recibir invitaciones a otras pruebas de sondeo más dentro de 2 semanas.
Disfrutar.

This is Hancock’s Jockey Club friend Dido Harding.
She was entrusted with £37 billion, to minimise Covid infection levels by setting up our Test & Trace system.
Turns out the system didn’t work, & she couldn’t account for all that money.
She remains in the House of Lords.

Successful replication of the doctored photography study published in Memory. Or as the authors stated: "Our study successfully replicating the results of Wade et al. (2002), suggest that memories can relatively easily be implanted, regardless of cultural setting" 1/2

Very neat! Norwegian participants showed evidence of falsely recalling a childhood Viking ship ride after viewing fake photos of themselves as kids doing just that! Recall rates almost identical to what we found 20 years ago in our hot air balloon study 😃 @drlambchop Thx Henry!

Matching a person’s face to their photo ID is a difficult task even for people who are employed to do this. So why are we using photo ID at polling stations? @DrKatieGray and I wrote an article for @ConversationUK setting out what we know about photo ID bit.ly/42IyNFO – at East Midlands, England

Really great to see this preregistered replication of the seminal false memory implantation by Loftus & Pickrell (1995) being published now in Memory. Great work @gillysmurf @ciaragreene01 and colleagues! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

V happy seeing Lord Lingfield (Patron) award @Ryan_e_Jenkins (PhD Psychology) (RA, Face and Voice Recognition Lab, @ILD_Greenwich @UniofGreenwich) a certificate designating Honorary Membership of the Association of Super-Recognisers.
His time in the lab ends soon. I'll be lost

Some more about the visit of Bundespolizei (German Federal Police) officials to @UniofGreenwich to sign contract with @GRecognisers here.
Thanks especially to @Ryan_e_Jenkins one of the lab's few RAs on Twitter. There were 10 RAs last summer. More here

The Bundespolizei (German Federal Police) is responsible for counterterrorism, border control, air and rail security etc.
This work is only possible because of the Face and Voice Recognition (AKA super-recogniser) Lab's excellent P/T student research assistants.

Excited that @UniofGreenwich was visited by officials from Europe’s largest police force, the Bundespolizei, and the German Embassy to sign (2nd) 2-year super-recogniser testing contract and discuss future plans with @GRecognisers @ILD_Greenwich
