Accuracy in the incidental recall of photographed human faces can be predicted from the S's cognitive styles and biases: (a) Ss who were field dependent on an embedded-figures test recalled more faces correctly than did the field independent; (b) Ss who were narrow categorizers on the Pettigrew Category-Width Scale had better recall than had broad categorizers; and (c) Ss who thought the photographed persons were relatively young did better than those who thought they were older. These 3 kinds of stylistic consistency were mutually independent. Some of these styles may determine memory for all sorts of stimuli and some may be relatively specific to memory for faces.
