Examination of the other-race effect through visual statistical learning

Other-race effect (ORE) refers to the phenomenon of better recognition faces one’s own race than those other races. ORE has been reported in many situations, yet it not fully explored paradigm visual statistical learning (VSL). In Experiment 1, we utilized VSL assess infants aged 6－8 months. The were shown familiar pattern face stimulus components own-race or other-race condition. Surprisingly, results showed that both and recognized, no significant was found who had presented previous studies. 2, tested adults’ ORE. participants viewed a sequence faces. Then, test conducted examine whether they could differentiate triplets. Additionally, them sequential reversed order investigate generalization. results, although couldn’t be generalized, robust through exhibited. Overall, these suggest developmental trajectory.
