Memory for own- and other-race faces: A dual-process approach (2005, methodology): “Taken together, the model also proposes to account for other in-group/outgroup phenomena in the facial memory literature, such as the effects of age (Wright & Stroud, 2002) and gender (Slone, Brigham, & Meissner, 2000).”
Sex differences and the own-gender bias in face recognition: A meta-analytic review (2013, background): “recognition and the own-gender bias in face recognition, also known as the cross-sex effect or own-sex bias, traditionally defined as better memory for faces of one’s own gender (Sporer, 2001).”
Two Faces of the Other-Race Effect: Recognition and Categorisation of Caucasian and Chinese Faces (2009, background): “A third alternative hypothesis is that individuals devote differential processing resources (eg attention) to a face's categorical and individuating information depending on whether the face is in-group and familiar versus out-group and unfamiliar (Sporer 2001).”
On the epistemic costs of implicit bias (2011, background): “Since the ‘‘ability to extract information from an environment improves with experience,’’ it is perhaps unsurprising that ‘‘[i]ndividuals are more accurate at recognizing types of faces with which they have had more exposure’’ (Hehman et al. 2010, p. 445, citing Sporer 2001).”
Empathy constrained: Prejudice predicts reduced mental simulation of actions during observation of outgroups. (2010, background): “For example, we have a harder time to recognize outgroup members’ faces (Sporer, 2001) and to interpret their facial expressions (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002); outgroups are also less likely to activate neural areas for social cognition (Harris & Fiske, 2006) and social perception (Van Bavel, Packer, &”
Individuation Motivation and Face Experience Can Operate Jointly to Produce the Own-Race Bias (2012, background): “Rather than attribute this weak relationship to poor measurement (Sporer, 2001), the current perspective may provide a more theoretically gratifying explanation: the relationship between CR experience and CR recognition is dependent on perceiver motivation and this previously unaccounted for…”
Ageing faces in ageing minds: A review on the own-age bias in face recognition (2013, result): “Similar to previous sociocognitive accounts (Levin, 1996; Sporer, 2001), this model suggests that biases in face recognition memory can be explained by the participants’ tendency to categorize faces into social in- versus outgroups.”
The Influence of Race on Eyewitness Memory (2007, unknown): “There have been several meta-analyses examining the CRE (Bothwell, Brigham, & Malpass, 1989; Anthony, Copper, & Mullen, 1992; Meissner & Brigham, 2001; Sporer, 2001).”
