Abstract
Knowing You Beyond Race: The Importance of Individual Feature Encoding in the Other-Race Effect
Highlights
The common phrase, “they all look alike to me” is a robustly supported empirical finding known as the other-race effect (ORE; see Malpass and Kravitz, 1969)
Memory was greater for SR faces compared with OR faces, replicating the ORE
Neural activity during the study phase resulted in several time points in processing that were sensitive to encoding differences for SR versus OR faces
Summary
The common phrase, “they all look alike to me” is a robustly supported empirical finding known as the other-race effect (ORE; see Malpass and Kravitz, 1969). Participants studied faces that were either ingroup, same-race (SR) faces, or outgroup, OR faces. Event-related brain potentials, a measure of neural electrical activity, were recorded during the study phase and compared between faces subsequently remembered and those forgotten.
