Abstract
Studies have questioned the relationship between self-reported and objective face recognition. Using a large sample (N ≥ 3,400), we observed a moderate correlation between subjective (Cambridge Face Memory Questionnaire) and objective tests (Cambridge Face Memory Test; Famous Faces Memory Test), suggesting that self-reported and laboratory-measured face recognition are robustly linked.
