Jamais vu is defined as a loss of familiarity for a person or object that we normally know well. In this study we will attempt to understand the effects of jamais vu in face discrimination and reaction time, and to show that the number of jamais vu decreases in healthy aging. The basic procedure is to ask participants to look at a face (for certain durations), and then report their subjective experience (if any) before a 2AFC face morph task. Prolonged inspection of faces leads to jamais vu.
