Abstract
Using as stimuli, photos of classmates’ faces presented under masks so only a portion of the face could be seen, a positive relationship between children’s chronological age and accuracy of identification was confirmed. Length of acquaintance between S and the pictured child did not affect performance; however, when young Ss acknowledged the pictured child as a “friend,” they were more likely to identify him correctly than when the pictured child was not a friend.
