We are all face experts, with a remarkable ability to distinguish thousands of faces, despite their similarity as visual patterns. We aim to understand the perceptual, cognitive and motivational bases of face expertise, by comparing processing of own-race faces and other-race faces, with which we typically have less expertise. We investigate whether there are deficits in the holistic and configural encoding of other-race faces, whether these deficits contribute to poorer memory for those faces, whether prejudice amplifies these deficits and whether merely categorizing a face as belonging to another race can trigger deficits in encoding and remembering that face.

我们都是面部专家，拥有区分成千上万张面孔的非凡能力，尽管它们的视觉模式相似。我们的目的是通过比较我们对自己种族面孔和其他种族面孔的处理，了解面孔专业知识的感知、认知和动机基础。我们研究了对其他种族面孔的整体和构形编码是否存在缺陷，这些缺陷是否会导致对这些面孔的记忆较差，偏见是否会放大这些缺陷，以及仅仅将一张面孔归类为属于另一个种族是否会引发编码和记忆该面孔的缺陷。
