Abstract(in English) The present study investigated whether or not the physic,al deviation from averaged face caused the distinctive effect on facial recognition. The stimuli were 120 pictures of male and female faces (mean age of faces was 21.6 years). The sizes, lengths, and angles of physical features of the faces were measured, and then the extent to which each faces deviated from average was calculated. One hundred and eight university students rated the distinctiveness of the faces. Eighty university students performed recognition memory tasks for the faces. Correlation and partial correlation analyses using physical deviation, rated distinctiveness and recognition performance revealed that physical features caused the distinctive effect on target recognition of male faces, but had no influence on target recognition of female faces and distracter recognition.
