Encore - The people who never forget a face, with Josh Davis, PhD, and Kelly Desborough
Super-recognizers have an extraordinary ability to recognize faces\u2014they can pick faces they\u2019ve seen only briefly out of a crowd and can recognize childhood acquaintances they haven\u2019t seen in decades. Josh Davis, PhD, a professor of applied psychology at the University of Greenwich, and super-recognizer Kelly Desborough discuss the origins of this ability, why you can\u2019t train yourself to be a super-recognizer, how super-recognizers compare with facial-recognition algorithms, and why police departments and security organizations are interested in working with super-recognizers.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
