The Impact of Minority Status on the Cross-Race Effect: A Critical Review (2025)
Journal Article
Töredi, D., Mansour, J. K., Jones, S. E., Skelton, F., & McIntyre, A. (in press). The Impact of Minority Status on the Cross-Race Effect: A Critical Review. Perspectives on Psychological Science,

Meta-analyses have consistently demonstrated the robustness of the cross-race effect (CRE; i.e., better recognition of same-race faces compared to different-race faces). These analyses have unveiled variations in the dependent variables associated wi... Read More about The Impact of Minority Status on the Cross-Race Effect: A Critical Review.

Creating a Cross-Race Effect Inventory to Postdict Eyewitness Accuracy (2025)
Journal Article
Toredi, D., Mansour, J., Jones, S., Skelton, F., & McIntyre, A. (in press). Creating a Cross-Race Effect Inventory to Postdict Eyewitness Accuracy. Law and Human Behavior,

Objective: The Cross-Race Effect (CRE) is a reliable and robust phenomenon, whereby individuals better recognize faces that belong to their race compared to another race. Our goal was to produce items for a self-report Inventory (i.e., CRE-I) that br... Read More about Creating a Cross-Race Effect Inventory to Postdict Eyewitness Accuracy.

Saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements trigger equivalent gaze-cued orienting effects (2018)
Journal Article
Langton, S. R., McIntyre, A. H., Hancock, P. J., & Leder, H. (2018). Saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements trigger equivalent gaze-cued orienting effects. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 17470218.2017.1. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2017.1362703

Research has established that a perceived eye gaze produces a concomitant shift in a viewer’s spatial attention in the direction of that gaze. The two experiments reported here investigate the extent to which the nature of the eye movement made by th...

Holistic face processing can inhibit recognition of forensic facial composites. (2016)
Journal Article
Hancock, P. J. B., Frowd, C. D., Langton, S. R. H., & McIntyre, A. H. (2016). Holistic face processing can inhibit recognition of forensic facial composites. Law and Human Behavior, 40(2), 128-135. https://doi.org/10.1037/lhb0000160

Facial composite systems help eyewitnesses to show the appearance of criminals. However, likenesses created by unfamiliar witnesses will not be completely accurate, and people familiar with the target can find them difficult to identify. Faces are p...

A decade of evolving composites: regression- and meta-analysis (2015)
Journal Article

Purpose

– The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of seven variables that emerge from forensic research on facial-composite construction and naming using contemporary police systems: EvoFIT, Feature and Sketch.

Design/methodology/app... Read More about A decade of evolving composites: regression- and meta-analysis.

Developmentally distinct gaze processing systems: Luminance versus geometric cues. (2015)
Journal Article
Doherty, M. J., McIntyre, A. H., & Langton, S. R. (2015). Developmentally distinct gaze processing systems: Luminance versus geometric cues. Cognition, 137, 72-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2015.01.001

Two experiments examined how the different cues to gaze direction contribute to children’s abilities to follow and make explicit judgements about gaze. In each study participants were shown blurred images of faces containing only luminance cues to ga...

Applied Vision Association Christmas Meeting, Leuven, Belgium 19–20 December 2013 (2014)
Journal Article
McIntyre, A. (2014). Applied Vision Association Christmas Meeting, Leuven, Belgium 19–20 December 2013. Perception, 43(10), 1114-1134. https://doi.org/10.1068/ava13xm

For about 15 years, we have been attempting to create a software system (EvoFIT) that produces an identifiable composite when constructed of an unfamiliar face after a long retention interval (as is the usual case in police investigations). EvoFIT ha... Read More about Applied Vision Association Christmas Meeting, Leuven, Belgium 19–20 December 2013.

Trying to remember something now typically improves your ability to remember it later. However, after watching a video of a simulated bank robbery, participants who verbally described the robber were 25% worse at identifying the robber in a lineup th...

Improving Discrimination and Face Matching with Caricature: Improving face matching with caricature (2013)
Journal Article
McIntyre, A. H., Hancock, P. J. B., Kittler, J., & Langton, S. R. H. (2013). Improving Discrimination and Face Matching with Caricature: Improving face matching with caricature. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 27(6), 725-734. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.2966

Summary: Identification of faces from photographs is a common security measure, but matching unfamiliar faces produces high
rates of error. Caricatures of familiar people are highly identifiable because they exaggerate distinctive features. We inves... Read More about Improving Discrimination and Face Matching with Caricature: Improving face matching with caricature.
