Resumo(s)
The other-race effect (ORE) is a well-known phenomenon in which people discriminate and recognize faces from their ethnic
group more accurately than faces from other ethnic groups. Holistic processing, or the mandatory tendency to process all parts of
an object together, has been proposed as an explanation for the ORE. According to the holistic perspective of the ORE, other-race
faces might be subject to weaker holistic processing than own-race faces. However, evidence for this hypothesis is inconsistent.
Although it is generally assumed that holistic processing helps the individuation of objects, holistic processing may also come at a
cost. Specifically, holistic processing may reduce the capacity to localize changes in the constituent parts of an object, but not in
detecting changes to an object as a whole. In the present study, we examined change detection and change localization accuracy
for Caucasian and African faces, and houses. Performance was better for change detection than change localization for Caucasian
faces. While clear costs of holistic processing for Caucasian faces were thus found, the difference between change localization
and change detection was not obvious for African faces. However, childhood exposure to other-race people correlated with
change detection for African faces, but not with change localization for African faces. Our results thus show that holistic
processing of other-race faces may depend on early contact with other-race people.
