There are many ways to assess face perception skills.In this study, we describe a novel task battery FEAST (Facial Expression Action Stimulus Test) developed to test recognition of identity and expressions of human faces as well as stimulus control categories.The FEAST consists of a neutral and emotional face memory task, a grandpas best face and object identity matching task, a face and house part-to-whole matching task, and a human and animal facial 30x24x24 wall cabinet expression matching task.The identity and part-to-whole matching tasks contain both upright and inverted conditions.The results provide reference data of a healthy sample of controls in two age groups for future users of the FEAST.
