在模拟射击（或不射击）黑人和白人目标时，警察和社区成员在速度和准确性方面进行了比较。两个样本在反应速度上都表现出强烈的种族偏见。在包括整体速度和准确性在内的多项指标上，警察的表现都优于社区成员。此外，尽管社区受访者对黑人目标的决策标准低于白人目标（表明偏见），但警察却没有。作者认为，训练可能不会影响与刻板印象不一致的目标的处理速度，但它确实会影响最终的决定（特别是决定标准的放置）。一项以接受培训的大学为样本的研究结果支持了这一结论。
Police officers were compared with community members in terms of the speed and accuracy with which they made simulated decisions to shoot (or not shoot) Black and White targets. Both samples exhibited robust racial bias in response speed. Officers outperformed community members on a number of measures, including overall speed and accuracy. Moreover, although community respondents set the decision criterion lower for Black targets than for White targets (indicating bias), police officers did not. The authors suggest that training may not affect the speed with which stereotype-incongruent targets are processed but that it does affect the ultimate decision (particularly the placement of the decision criterion). Findings from a study in which a college sample received training support this conclusion.
