Yes, we use what we call B-list celebrities. So we check it out beforehand. But we use people who are known very well by the local population. These are people like, you know, newsreaders, local sports people. And they tend to be very well known by the local community, but not by people internationally.

What we find then is that when the UK people are matching UK celebrities, they're really good at it. And they're really poor at matching the Australian celebrities, the people that they don't know. When you look at the Australian students looking at these photos, you find exactly the opposite pattern. They're great at matching Australian celebrities and poor at matching UK celebrities.

So at this point, we know that there's nothing in the faces themselves that make them easy or hard to match. It's just in the perceptions of the viewers. So far, so good. We know that people are better at matching familiar faces. But what we then ask is, how well do you think other people will do on these faces when we give them the same task?

And what you find is that the UK viewers think other people will find the UK faces easier. The Australian viewers think other people will find the Australian photos easier. That can't both be true. it must be that they are falsely generalizing their own knowledge to other people.

That's right. It comes up in a number of areas of psychology, even something simple like general knowledge. If you happen to have read some books about Napoleon and be knowledgeable about Napoleon, you falsely generalize that and assume that other people know more about Napoleon than they actually do.

Of course, we all have our own different areas of specialist knowledge, and people turn out to be rather poor at understanding that and being able to generalize it. I'm wondering how good you are at facial recognition. I'm poor. On the tests, I'm just a little below average.

Well, I do now know how poor I am. I certainly would try not to rely on my own ability to do it. But I think that nobody really knew until the last few years just how bad we all are with unfamiliar faces. And it's just becoming clear now.
