Same-race faces are perceived more holistically than other-race faces (2006, background): “Yet, young children of 6 years of age are profoundly deficient at matching faces, especially when they differ in viewpoint, lighting or clothing (Benton & van Allen, 1973; Bruce et al., 2000; Carey et al., 1980; Ellis, 1992; Mondloch et al., 2003), even in matching tasks that eliminate memory demand”
Same-race faces are perceived more holistically than other-race faces (2004, background): “Yet, young children of 6 years of age are profoundly deficient at matching faces, especially when they differ in viewpoint, lighting or clothing (Benton & van Allen, 1973; Bruce et al., 2000; Carey et al., 1980; Ellis, 1992; Mondloch et al., 2003), even in matching tasks that eliminate memory demand”
The composite face effect in six-year-old children: Evidence of adult-like holistic face processing (2007, background): “Children do not reach adult levels of expertise in recognizing facial identity until adolescence (Carey, Diamond, & Woods, 1980; Mondloch, Geldart, Maurer, & Le Grand, 2003; Mondloch, Le Grand, & Maurer, 2002), even in matching tasks that eliminate memory demands (Bruce et al., 2000).”
Reversibility of the Other-Race Effect in Face Recognition During Childhood (2005, result): “These data fit with results showing that many aspects of face processing improve with age, until 12 to 14 years of age (Bruce et al., 2000; Carey, Diamond, & Woods, 1980; Mondloch, Le Grand, & Maurer, 2002).”
Configural Face Processing Develops more Slowly than Featural Face Processing (2002, background): “Regardless of the reason for children's poor configural processing, our data show that children's relatively poor performance in identifying faces (Bruce et al 2000; Carey et al 1980) is due largely to poor configural processing, an ability that develops more slowly than the processing of…”
