Abstract
Expertise in familiar face recognition has been well-documented in several studies. Here we examined the role of context using a surprise lecturer recognition test. Across two experiments we found few students recognised their lecturer when they were unexpected, but accuracy was higher when the lecturer was preceded by a prompt. Our findings suggest familiar face recognition can be poor in unexpected contexts.
