recognising faces

in cognition, it's said that people will usually find it hard to recognise faces which are not in the upright orientation, even if they are familiar ones. it's like looking at a photo which is upside down, you will find it pretty hard to identify people faces (disregard hairstyles and clothes)

today, by chance i tested this out with a familiar face which is oriented 90degree anti-clockwise, appearing for perhaps 1-2 secs. just the face only, and i thought it was some boliao little girl. it's true.
