Emotional Expressions Reinstate Recognition of Other-Race Faces in Infants Following Perceptual Narrowing

Résumé

Perceptual narrowing has been observed in human infants for other-race faces. The hypothesis that adding emotional expressiveness to other-race faces wouldhelp infants(N= 128)break through narrowing and reinstate other-race facerecognitionwas tested. Experiment 1 demonstratednarrowing for Caucasian infants viewing neutral Asian faces: whereas 3-month-olds differentiated Asianfaces, 6-month-olds did not. Experiment 2showed that Caucasian 6-month-oldsdifferentiated Asian faces depicted with angryor happyexpressions. Experiments 3 and 4 yielded the same results for 6-and 9-month-olds tested with African faces. Theoutcomesindicatethat recognition of other-race faces can be restoredwith emotional expressiveness. The findings suggest that there is early perceptual-social linkage in face representationthatarisesin part from a social-to-perceptual pathway
