- The Mooney Face Test, developed by Craig M. Mooney, was first introduced in his 1957 article “Age in the development of closure ability in children.” Participants in the test are shown series of black and white distorted photographs, presented in such a way that would require them to perform closure. The law of closure is one of the seven Gestalt principles that describes a tendency of our perception to view an incomplete object as continuing and complete. The test assumes that perception is based on the collected information taken from the different regions of the image, which then constitute a holistic representation of a face. Today, there are many iterations of the Mooney Face Test, a number of which contain images that involve image color inversion and facial feature scrambling. Although the Mooney Face Test is widely used in the area of Gestalt facial recognition, it is recognized as the most reliable in Gestalt perception, more recent tests have shown flaws in the original test. As the original test consisted of 40 specific images and was designed to be administered by a rather short 40 minutes personal interview, there was no ability to retest specific individuals or test the mass. To amend this, more recent studies have found a way to move Mooney Face Tests online, instating new requirements and materials that can not only test for reaction time, correlational ability, and personal ability, but is also repeatable and can reach a larger population.
