Humans Are Better at Remembering Names Than Faces

London: Do you think Humans is good at remembering faces but terrible with names? According to a new research, this intuition is misleading as we are more likely to remember how a person looks like. Researchers from UK’s University of New York, suggest that when we castigate ourselves for forgetting someone’s name we are placing unfair demands on our brains. Remembering a person’s face relies on recognition, but remembering their name is a matter of recall, and it is already well-established that human beings are much better at the former than the latter.
