Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “They have found that 3-month-old infants discriminate the faces of other races, that this ability declines by 9 months of age (Kelly et al., 2007), that it is independent of culture (Kelly et al.”
Intersensory Perception at Birth: Newborns Match Nonhuman Primate Faces and Voices. (2010, background): “For example, it has been found that young infants can discriminate between different monkey faces (Pascalis, Haan, & Nelson, 2002), other-race faces (Kelly et al., 2007), non-native audible speech contrasts (Best, McRoberts, & Sithole, 1988; Kuhl, Williams, Lacerda, Stevens, & Lindblom,1992; Werker ”
The Development of the Uncanny Valley in Infants (2011, background): “…the faces of other races (Chiroro & Valentine, 1995)—have found that young infants can discriminate the faces of different races but that older infants only discriminate the faces of their own race (Kelly et al., 2005; Kelly et al., 2007; Kelly et al., 2009; Sangrigoli & de Schonen, 2004).”
Development of the other-race effect during infancy: Evidence toward universality? (2009, background): “To investigate this issue more fully, Kelly and colleagues (2007b) adopted a similar but slightly modified paradigm as Sangrigoli and de Schonen (2004b) (see Kelly et al., 2007b, for a detailed description of the methodological differences) in which they extended the range of face stimuli to four ”
From Mind Perception to Mental Connection: Synchrony as a Mechanism for Social Understanding (2012, background): “The brain’s characteristic frugality is also apparent during normal cognitive development: unemphasized abilities decline over the course of infancy, such as the ability to discriminate other-race (Kelly et al., 2007) or other-species (Pascalis, de Haan, & Nelson, 2002) faces.”
Origins and Development of Generalized Magnitude Representation (2011, background): “increased sensitivity to faces with which they have greater expertise [60].”
Perceptual learning: 12-month-olds' discrimination of monkey faces. (2012, background): “The current results, along with several other studies (e.g., Kelly et al., 2007; Pascalis et al., 2002; Pascalis et al., 2005; Werker & Tees, 1984; Werker et al., 1981), demonstrate that human infants’ perceptual systems do become attuned to their environment.”
The decline of cross-species intersensory perception in human infants: underlying mechanisms and its developmental persistence. (2008, background): “Studies of infant response to the faces from other races have shown that infants younger than three months of age can discriminate same-race faces as well as other-race faces but that older infants only discriminate same-race faces (Kelly et al., 2007, 2005; Sangrigoli and de Schonen, 2004).”
Experience-dependent neural specialization during infancy. (2010, neutral): “In face perception, the ability to recognize differences among faces of another race or species appear to decline from 6 to 9 months of age (Kelly et al., 2007; Pascalis, de Haan, & Nelson, 2002; Pascalis et al., 2005; Scott & Monesson, 2009).”
Where the division lies: Common ingroup identity moderates the cross-race facial-recognition effect (2010, background): “For instance, Kelly et al. (2007) found that whereas 3 month-old Caucasian infants demonstrated equal recognition for African, Middle-Eastern, and Chinese faces, by 9 months recognition was restricted to own-race faces.”
The emergence of multisensory systems through perceptual narrowing. (2009, background): “The ORE emerges gradually in infancy between 3 and 9 months [ 34 ] and, similar to the perception of non-native speech contrasts and the faces of other species, depends on experience [35].”
Narrowing of intersensory speech perception in infancy (2009, background): “Similarly, these studies have found that whereas 3- and 6-monthold infants can discriminate between the faces of different ethnic groups, 9-month-old infants can discriminate only between faces in their native ethnic group (5).”
The Origin of Biases in Face Perception (2009, background): “The development of the ability to tell the difference between two faces within an uncommonly experienced face category declines in infants from 6 to 9months of age (Kelly et al., 2007; Pascalis, de Haan, &Nelson, 2002; Pascalis et al., 2005).”
On the epistemic costs of implicit bias (2011, background): “29 Cf. also Devine and Elliot: ‘‘The coexistence of a rejected yet enduring negative stereotype of Blacks and a positive set of beliefs about Blacks places the low-prejudiced social perceiver in a precarious position.”
