The Other-Race Effect Quiz

What is the Other-Race Effect (ORE)?

How has the ORE impacted eyewitness testimony and security settings?

What are the different explanations for the ORE?

What brain regions have been studied in relation to the ORE?

Does the FFA show greater activation for same-race faces or other-race faces?

Which type of faces elicit the largest N170 amplitude: own-race faces or other-race faces?

What research technique has been used to study the ORE?

What does the Perceptual Expertise Hypothesis suggest about the ORE?

What does the Social Motivation Hypothesis suggest about the ORE?

Is the ORE a well-replicated phenomenon with multiple potential explanations?

The Other-Race Effect (ORE) is the phenomenon where people recognize their own race better than other races.
It has been replicated in numerous studies and has real-world impacts on eyewitness testimony and security settings.
There are different explanations for the ORE, including social motivation and perceptual expertise.
The Face Fusiform Area (FFA) and N170 (EEG/ERPs) have been studied in relation to the ORE.
The FFA shows greater activation for same-race faces than other-race faces.
The N170 amplitude is largest for own-race faces compared to other-race faces.
TDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) has been used to study the ORE.
The Perceptual Expertise Hypothesis suggests that disrupting the perceptual expertise component for own-race faces would alter the ORE.
The Social Motivation Hypothesis suggests that reducing the FIE (face inversion effect) for both own and other-race faces would still result in a significant ORE.
Overall, the ORE is a well-replicated phenomenon with real-world impacts and multiple potential explanations.

Anodal tDCS eliminates the other-race effect (ORE) for face recognition.
Perceptual expertise for upright faces from a familiar category contributes to the ORE.
The cross-race interaction is used as an index of the ORE.
The FIE for own-race faces is significantly reduced by anodal tDCS.
The ORE is fully reduced by anodal tDCS.
The study was conducted on 96 participants.
The main reference for the study is Civile and McLaren (2022).
The study is published in Scientific Reports.
The text provides additional suggested readings for further research.
The ORE is a phenomenon where people are better at recognizing faces from their own race than from other races.
