Detecting Changes in Novel, Complex Three-dimensional Objects (2000, background): “…actively differentiating members of a group from each other, allowing observers familiar with a category to be able to form more precise representations of individuals (Levin, 1998) and to focus on those object features that are central and therefore most diagnostic (Gibson & Gibson, 1955).”
Same-race faces are perceived more holistically than other-race faces (2006, background): “It is generally acknowledged that the difference in amount of visual experience people have with same- and other-race faces may account for the OR effect (Chance, Turner, & Goldstein, 1982; Dehon & Bre ´dart, 2001; Elliott, Wills, & Goldstein, 1973; Goldstein & Chance, 1985; Levin, 2000; Meissner ”
On Construing Others: Category and Stereotype Activation from Facial Cues (2006, background): “…by social perceivers is hampered by the field’s tendency to overlook the early perceptual processes involved in person construal (but see Blair et al., 2004; Cloutier et al., 2005; Levin, 2000; Livingston & Brewer, 2002; Maddox, 2004; Mason & Macrae, 2004; Quinn & Macrae, 2005; Zebrowitz, 1997).”
Ageing faces in ageing minds: A review on the own-age bias in face recognition (2013, background): “In addition, support for the idea of processing outgroup faces at a categorical level comes from visual search tasks, in which other-race faces were detected faster among own-race distracters relative to the reversed situation (Levin, 1996, 2000).”
Reversibility of the Other-Race Effect in Face Recognition During Childhood (2005, background): “In adults, evidence for this experience hypothesis is conflicting (Furl, Phillips, & O’Toole, 2002; Levin, 2000).”
Same-race faces are perceived more holistically than other-race faces (2004, background): “It is generally acknowledged that the difference in amount of visual experience people have with same- and other-race faces may account for the OR effect (Chance, Turner, & Goldstein, 1982; Dehon & Brédart, 2001; Elliott, Wills, & Goldstein, 1973; Goldstein & Chance, 1985; Levin, 2000; Meissner & Br”
SUN: A Bayesian framework for saliency using natural statistics. (2008, background): “In addition, Levin found that Caucasian basketball fans who are familiar with many African-American basketball players do not show this other-race search advantage (Levin, 2000).”
Where the division lies: Common ingroup identity moderates the cross-race facial-recognition effect (2010, background): “CRE? Previous theory ( Levin, 2000 ) and research (Study 1 of Shriver et al., 2008) suggest different encoding processes for in and out-”
Two Faces of the Other-Race Effect: Recognition and Categorisation of Caucasian and Chinese Faces (2009, methodology): “When participants are asked to categorise faces by their race, they respond faster to other-race faces than to own-race faces (Caldara et al 2004; Levin 1996, 2000; Valentine and Endo 1992).”
Individuation Motivation and Face Experience Can Operate Jointly to Produce the Own-Race Bias (2012, methodology): “For example, the featureselection model (Levin, 1996, 2000) suggests that the ORB is the result of perceivers quickly processing CR faces in a categorical manner, while instead processing OR faces in a more deliberate and individuated mode.”
Three-month-olds, but not newborns, prefer own-race faces. (2005, background): “Adults very rapidly make judgements and categorize people according to ethnicity (Levin, 2000; Valentine & Endo, 1992).”
Memory for own- and other-race faces: A dual-process approach (2005, methodology): “First, some researchers have suggested that individuals may generate a categorization response when presented with other-race faces (Levin, 1996, 2000; MacLin & Malpass, 2001, 2003; Sporer, 2001).”
Race and gender on the brain: electrocortical measures of attention to the race and gender of multiply categorizable individuals. (2003, background): “When attending to race, a target who differed from the preceding context in terms of only race attracted greater processing than someone who differed only in terms of gender, F(1,20) = 174.”
Learning Race from Face: A Survey (2014, background): “Other cognitive experiments in [11], [12], [32] have also indicated the existence of racial features as a salient visual factor.”
