Children aren't as good at recognizing masked faces as adults, study finds
Fox News
Kids have a harder time recognizing faces that are masked than adults do, which could harm "children’s ability to navigate through social interactions with their peers and teachers," according to York University researcher Erez Freud, who published his findings on Monday in the journal Cognitive Research: Principles & Implications.
Freud, along with two professors from Israel’s Ben-Gurion University, gave 72 children between the ages of 6 and 14 the Cambridge Face Memory Test, which measures facial perception abilities by presenting people with and without masks while upright and inverted.
When masks were included in the presentation, it led to a "profound deficit in face perception abilities" that was "more pronounced in children compared to adults," according to the study.
Children had a 20% impairment rate for recognizing masked faces, while adults had about a 15% impairment rate.
