Summary
Face recognition is important in social interaction, and people differ in how easily they recognize faces. We do not know if this is related to variation in other skills or abilities. We will test face recognition in a large (~20.000) group representative of the Danish population and investigate the relationships with variability in school performance and intelligence using Danish registry data.
