Résumé

Early experience with faces of a given racial type facilitates visual recognition for this type of face relative to others. To assess whether this so-called 'other-race effect' can be reversed by subsequent experience with new types of faces, we tested adults of Korean origin adopted by European Caucasian families between the ages 3 to 9. The adoptees performed a face recognition task with photographs of Caucasian and Asiatic faces. They behaved exactly like a control group of French participants, identifying the Caucasian faces better than the Asiatic ones. On the opposite, a control group of Koreans showed the reversed pattern. This result indicates that the face recognition system remains plastic enough during childhood to reverse the other-race effect.
