这项研究表明，经验和发展相互作用，影响了“跨种族效应”。在一项多国研究中(n=245)，对居住在美国、挪威或南非的高加索儿童和欧洲血统的成年人以及生活在美国的混血(高加索非裔美国人)儿童和成年人进行了识别亚洲、非洲和高加索面孔的测试。无论国籍或混血背景如何，8-10岁、12-14岁和成年人识别自己种族的面孔比识别其他种族的面孔更准确，而且识别程度相似，而5-7岁的儿童识别所有面孔类型的能力相同。同样的发育模式也出现在混血儿和成年人身上。因此，早期有意义的暴露并没有实质上改变发育轨迹。在幼年时期，对面孔处理的发展影响作用于一个足够可塑性的系统，在某些条件下，排除了跨种族效应。(C)2007 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
This study demonstrates that experience and development interact to influence the "cross-race effect." In a multination study (n = 245), Caucasian children and adults of European ancestry living in the United States, Norway, or South Africa, as well as biracial (Caucasian-African American) children and adults living in the United States, were tested for recognition of Asian, African, and Caucasian faces. Regardless of national or biracial background, 8- to 10-year-olds, 12- to 14-year-olds, and adults recognized own-race faces more accurately than other-race faces, and did so to a similar extent, whereas 5- to 7-year-olds recognized all face types equally well. This same developmental pattern emerged for biracial children and adults. Thus, early meaningful exposure did not substantially alter the developmental trajectory. During young childhood, developmental influences on face processing operate on a system sufficiently plastic to preclude, under certain conditions, the cross-race effect. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
