It is widely accepted that holistic processing is important for face perception. However, it
remains unclear whether the other-race effect (ORE)(ie superior recognition for own-race …

We evaluate claims that the other-race effect in face memory reflects stronger holistic coding
of own-race than other-race faces. Considering evidence from a range of paradigms …

Holistic coding for faces is shown in several illusions that demonstrate integration of the
percept across the entire face. The illusions occur upright but, crucially, not inverted …

Face recognition, holistic processing, and processing of configural and featural facial
information are known to be influenced by face race, with better performance for own-than …

Contact with racial outgroups is thought to reduce the cross-race recognition deficit (CRD),
the tendency for people to recognize same-race (ie, ingroup) faces more accurately than …

People are more accurate at recognizing faces of their own race than faces from other races,
a phenomenon known as the other-race effect. Other-race effects have also been reported in …

Our understanding of the mechanisms and neural substrates underlying visual recognition
has made considerable progress over the past 30 years. During this period, accumulating …

Visual words and faces differ in their structural properties, but both are objects of high
expertise. Holistic processing is said to characterize expert face recognition, but the extent to …

We are typically more accurate at remembering own-than other-race faces. This “own-race
bias” has been suggested to result from enhanced expertise with and more efficient …

Using a composite-face paradigm, we examined the holistic processing induced by Asian
faces, Caucasian faces, and monkey faces with human Asian participants in two …
