EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background As its title indicates, this study’s aim was to understand the relationship of the component skills of reading, such as word recognition, vocabulary, and spelling, to large-scale measures of literacy, such as the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) (Kirsch, Jungleblut, Jenkins, & Kolstad, 1993) and the closely related International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) (Tuijnman, 2001). The NALS and IALS used real-world items such as advertisements, bus schedules

we realized that we could exploit this setup to try to get at the performance level of that face recognition system on images of real world variability. So these are images that contain all the variability in lighting and so on that we are used to dealing with in the real world. But it’s exactly that information that usually trips up the automatic systems. And so the logic behind this was that if the system is performing well, and we feed it a photograph of Bill Clinton, it should tell us that the closest
