Participants are more accurate at remembering faces from their own relative to a different age group (the own-age bias, or OAB). A recent socio-cognitive account has suggested that differential allocation of attention to old versus young faces underl...

Preserved fine-tuning of face perception and memory: evidence from the own-race bias in high- and low-performing older adults (2014)
Journal Article

Previous research suggests specific deficits in face perception and memory in older adults, which could reflect a dedifferentiation in the context of a general broadening of cognitive architecture with advanced age. Such dedifferentiation could manif... Read More about Preserved fine-tuning of face perception and memory: evidence from the own-race bias in high- and low-performing older adults.

Fluency affects source memory for familiar names in younger and older adults: Evidence from event-related brain potentials (2014)
Journal Article
Komes, J., Schweinberger, S., & Wiese, H. (2014). Fluency affects source memory for familiar names in younger and older adults: Evidence from event-related brain potentials. NeuroImage, 92, 90-105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2014.02.009

A current debate in memory research is whether and how the access to source information depends not only on recollection, but on fluency-based processes as well. In three experiments, we used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to examine influence...

Effects of attractiveness on face memory separated from distinctiveness: Evidence from event-related brain potentials (2014)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Altmann, C., & Schweinberger, S. (2014). Effects of attractiveness on face memory separated from distinctiveness: Evidence from event-related brain potentials. Neuropsychologia, 56, 26-36. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2013.12.023

The present study examined effects of attractiveness on behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) correlates of face memory. Extending previous reports, we controlled for potential moderating effects of distinctiveness, a variable known to affect...
