Two studies examined the impact of disguise on recognizing familiar faces. Participants viewed the faces of male celebrities and unfamiliar male faces seen disguised or undisguised. Familiar face recognition accuracy decreased significantly with an increase in the degree of disguise and concealment of facial features. In study 1, participants in the high disguise group (n = 75) viewed faces wearing dark, tight-fitting pantyhose that distorted facial features. Participants in the low disguise group (n = 78) viewed faces wearing a pantyhose more opaque and looser fitting, providing less concealment of the face. Recognition accuracy in the high disguise group was significantly lower (.27) than the low disguise group (.51). In study 2, participants (N = 252) viewed celebrity and unfamiliar faces wearing one of three disguises: (1) a hat, glasses, and fake mustache, (2) a ski mask, or (3) a pantyhose from the high disguise group in study 1. Recognition accuracy in the ski mask group was significantly lower (.21) than the hat, glasses, and fake mustache group (.44) and the high disguise pantyhose group (.29). When presented with disguised and undisguised control faces that were unfamiliar, participants in both studies were accurate at identifying them as unfamiliar. Lastly, the impact of disguise on familiar face recognition decreased significantly in both studies when controlled for, as was done above, whether a participant could identify a celebrity face when seen undisguised.
