Abstract
This article provides a response to five excellent commentaries on our article ‘Super‐recognizers: From the lab to the world and back again’. Specifically, the response summarizes commonalities between these commentaries. Based on this consensus, we propose a flexible framework for the assessment of superior face recognition and outline guiding principles to advance future work in the field.
Highlights
Our target article was intended to encourage greater synergy between face recognition researchers and practitioners to develop knowledge of super-recognizers (SRs) in the future
Twelve respected researchers took the time to respond thoughtfully to our article, and to extend the ideas we put forward. These responses reflect the vast interest in this topic over recent years and the positive steps that are already underway to address the gap between the laboratory and the world, including the emergence of collaborative groups comprising academics and experienced face identification practitioners (Moreton, Pike, & Havard, 2019)
Others shared our specific concerns that the quasi-scientific claims made by commercial organizations and in popular media are likely to exacerbate this problem
