The role of expansion and adaptability of face-space for individual differences in face identity processing by Linda Ficco, Meike Ramon, Anna Schroeger, Jürgen M. Kaufmann, Stefan R. Schweinberger

“…We consider two fundamental properties of face-space: expansion (how distant from each other similar faces are located in such space) and adaptability (the degree to which these distances change over time). Fifty-two participants performed a face detection task, with faces systematically varying in their location in face-space, and a comprehensive face identity processing test battery. …”
