The aim of this study was to investigate how the other-race and baby schema effects interacted during face perception and recognition processes. 384 pictures representing Caucasian and non-Caucasian faces of infants and adults were shown to 24 Caucasian adult participants in an old/new recognition task. EEG/ERPs were recorded during face encoding and a successive memory session.

ERP data showed a baby schema effect on N170, anterior N2 and P300 responses, which were larger to infant than adult faces, regardless of ethnicity. Conversely, an ORE was found, but only for adults faces, with N170 and N400 being larger to Caucasian than non-Caucasian adult faces. Consistently, reaction times were faster to unfamiliar faces of Caucasian than non-Caucasian adults, while no ORE was found for infants. SwLORETA, applied to the difference-waves (Caucasian - non Caucasian) elicited by adults faces (ORE), showed the strong activation of areas representing person-related information (i.e., inferior temporal gyrus), prejudice representation (i.e., the superior and middle frontal gyri), and theory of mind (i.e., the supramarginal gyrus and superior parietal lobe). The lack of ethnicity effect for infants faces is discussed in the light of their innate collative and attention capturing properties.

这项研究的目的是调查在面部感知和识别过程中其他种族和婴儿模式的影响是如何相互作用的。向24位高加索成年参与者显示了384张代表婴儿和成年人的高加索和非高加索人脸的图片，这些照片分别来自新旧识别任务。在面部编码和连续的记忆过程中记录了EEG / ERP。

ERP数据显示，婴儿的图式对N170，前N2和P300响应的影响，无论种族如何，婴儿的表情都比成年面孔大。相反，发现了一个ORE，但仅针对成年人脸，N170和N400对白种人而言比非白种人成年人脸更大。一致地，对白种人不熟悉的面孔的反应时间比非白种人的成年人要快，而婴儿未发现ORE。SwLORETA应用于成年人面孔（ORE）引起的差异波（高加索人-非高加索人），显示出代表人相关信息（即颞下回），偏见表示（即上，中）的区域的强烈激活。额回回和心理理论（即上回回和顶叶）。
