Experience with headwear influences the other-race effect in 4-year-old children.

TL;DR: This article used an online version of the card sorting task to assess adults' recognition of faces that varied in familiarity and race when presented with either the whole face, internal features only, or external features only.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that 2.5-year-old Caucasian infants can be sensitized to Asian faces through bimodal training, showing improved discrimination abilities after exposure to a frequency distribution of morphed Asian faces.

TL;DR: Familiar faces are better recognized than unfamiliar faces regardless of facial features used.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that expertise in face processing may take the entire childhood to develop, and supports the perceptual learning view of the other-race effect—the own- race advantage seen in adulthood likely reflects a result of prolonged learning specific to faces most commonly seen in one’s visual environment such as own-race faces.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the “perceptual narrowing” phenomenon may represent a more general change in neural networks involved in early cognition.

TL;DR: It is argued that the internal representation for familiar faces may be qualitatively different from that for faces seen just once and some advantage in feature saliency may accrue to the internal or ‘expressive’ features of familiar faces.

TL;DR: The results suggest that representation of information about human faces by young infants may be influenced by the gender of the primary caregiver.

TL;DR: The testing of adults of Korean origin who were adopted by European Caucasian families when they were between the ages of 3 to 9 indicates that the face recognition system remains plastic enough during childhood to reverse the other-race effect.
