April 2024

New test procedure:

The new FACE Identification Test (FACE), a multiple-choice test for assessing semantic memory, is now available for use. The current adaptation of the FACE consists of a total of 16 items. There are two versions: a paper-and-pencil test and a digital test. In the paper-and-pencil version, participants receive a test sheet (A4) on which 16 photographs of famous personalities (actors and actresses) are shown in 16 lines. Each line contains one name of the famous person and three alternative names as possible answers. The total duration of the test is approx. 2 – 10 minutes, depending on the individual’s processing speed. 1 point is awarded for each correct answer and 0 points for each incorrect answer. The total score of the test therefore varies between 0 and 16. The FACE has very good psychometric quality criteria and has been used in numerous studies. Test versions are available in German.

As an Easter promotion, 10 pcs. CITY Manual and 10, 100 or 1000 pcs. FACE test protocols will be made available free of charge to all newsletter subscribers.
