Abstract: | Faces constitute a unique and widely used category of stimuli. In spite of their importance, there are few collections of
faces for use in research, none of which adequately represent the different ages of faces across the lifespan. This lack of
a range of ages has limited the majority of researchers to using predominantly young faces as stimuli even when their hypotheses
concern both young and old participants. We describe a database of 575 individual faces ranging from ages 18 to 93. Our database
was developed to be more representative of age groups across the lifespan, with a special emphasis on recruiting older adults.
The resulting database has faces of 218 adults age 18–29, 76 adults age 30–49, 123 adults age 50–69, and 158 adults age 70
and older. These faces may be acquired for research purposes fromhttp://agingmind.cns.uiuc.edu/facedb/. This will allow researchers interested in using facial stimuli access to a wider age range of adult faces than has previously
been available. |
