Mooney Face Test
The Mooney Face Test was developed by Craig M. Mooney and his results published in 1957 as “Age in the development of closure ability in children.”[1] In the test, participants are shown low-information, two-tone pictures of faces and are asked to identify features and distinguish between real and false faces. It is a test of a concept he called "perceptual closure": the ability to form coherent mental pictures with very little visual information.
A study conducted with 370 participants identified an association between performance on the Mooney Face Test and a polymorphism in the RAPGEF5 gene.[2]
