Face-name recognition is the cognitive ability to recognize and match people’s faces (visual representation) with their names (semantic representation) over the long-term. We call upon our face-name memory, for instance, whenever we meet a person we have seen before and try to match their name with their face. A common means of improving peoples’ face-name memories is through the use of mnemonics, that is, a device like a rhyme or formula used as an aid for remembering.
