Abstract

We assessed the association between face emotion recognition and face identity recognition using structural equation modelling in a well-powered sample (N=605), and observed a strong positive correlation (r = .52). This association was reduced but still moderate (r = .28) and highly significant when controlling for measures of general intelligence.
