Secrets of the human face

Forget about your phone for a few minutes and take a look at the most successful and
important communications gadget you will ever own: your face. It is easy to overlook just
how complex and sophisticated our faces are, simply because we spend so much of our time
looking out from them, but think what the face is capable of: showing the whole range of
our emotions, yet often also hiding our feelings the list is long.
All human faces are basically the same, with the same set of features, but they send out an
incredible number of different signals to others. In addition to communications, the face is
where you see, hear, breathe and speak. Because all faces are so alike, the brain needs to
be very well organised to notice the often minor differences between other peoples faces
especially between family members who may well be almost identical minute by minute.
Research suggests that it only takes a newborn baby a few days to be able to identify faces
that are important to their lives. There appears to be an instinct to notice faces and to pay
attention to their features and appearance. But doesnt the ability to identify and to store
in our memories the faces of our closest relatives then mean that we as adults will become
skilled at face recognition where strangers are involved? In fact the opposite is true. We are line 15
often little better than babies in that respect.
A key area where face recognition lets us and others down, sometimes with very serious
consequences, is as eyewitnesses to crimes where we are asked after days, or even weeks,
to identify a face, one we may have seen for a few moments in a highly stressed situation. In
these situations, it is becoming clear that people have over the years made huge numbers of
mistakes, and punished innocent individuals primarily because people struggle to recognise
the faces of unfamiliar people. Is technology a better option?
The movie industry has created many myths about the ability of cameras to recognise people.
In fact, finding and identifying one face amongst many is hard. With current technology, the
face must be at a good angle, as well as not covered by anything, but in real life cameras
are often placed at heights where the only thing visible is the top of a head. In the right
circumstances, current technology can indeed identify almost anybody if they are on the
database, but, just as fingerprint experts wont find anything if someone wears gloves, face
recognition is hopeless if the subject is looking away.
Although we tend not to think that much about them, mainly because they are all around
us, faces attract us, whether they are familiar or not. From birth, were attracted to faces
because we learn that they send out many important social signals and give us vital
information. They let you know whether another person is listening to you or being friendly
towards you, and they sometimes tell you if the other person is someone youve already met,
in order to spare either of you any embarrassment.
Progress test 9
1 What does the writer say about our faces in the first paragraph?
A W e are often unaware of how other people see them.
B We need to realise how important they are to communication.
C We tend to forget the variety of functions they can perform.
D We should remember how much they reflect our inner feelings.
2 According to the second paragraph, what is the difficulty we have with recognising
different faces?
A Peoples faces frequently change shape.
B There are very few differences between faces.
C Certain faces are easier to recognise than others.
D Its hard for our brains to notice all the messages faces give us.
3 the opposite is true in line 15 refers to

A the way people recognise family members.
B our inability as adults to recognise strangers.
C changes in the way we remember faces.
D how an adults memory for faces is worse than a babys.
4 What is the main reason why eyewitnesses are unreliable?

A They lack an important ability.
B People soon forget what they saw.
C There is too much pressure on them.
D The original circumstances are often unfavourable.
5 Why is camera technology similar to fingerprinting?

A They both rely on one key factor.
B They are both shown inaccurately in movies.
C They both need skilled operators to be successful.
D They are both using new technology to develop.
6 Why do we find faces attractive?

A We develop this instinct when we are born.
B They tell us more about people than conversation does.
C We find it harder to communicate without visual signals.
D They give clues about how were getting on with someone.
