No evidence of other‐race effect for Chinese faces in Malaysian non‐Chinese population

The other-race effect (ORE) reflects poor recognition of faces of a different race to one's own. According to the expertise-individuation hypothesis, this phenomenon is a consequence of limited experience with other-race faces. Thus, similar …

Multisensory stimulation modulates perceptual and post perceptual face representations. Evidence from event-related potentials

Seeing a face being touched in spatial and temporal synchrony with the own face produces a bias in self-recognition, whereby the other face becomes more likely to be perceived as the self. The present study employed event-related potentials to …

Direct current electrical stimulation in the treatment of aphasia

Introduction. Ictus is a medical condition with a high prevalence in Spanish population. One of its most common consequences is aphasia. Nowadays, aphasia is treated with both neuropsychological and pharmacological therapy. However, in recent years, …

A multi-sensory system for self-face learning

The face is the primary visual signpost of our identity, but the process of how we know that a particular face is one’s own has only recently started to receive considerable scientific attention. This interest has been enhanced by multisensory …

Can Gaze-Contingent Mirror-Feedback from Unfamiliar Faces alter Self-Recognition?

This study focuses on learning of the self, by examining how human observers update internal representations of their own face. For this purpose, we present a novel gaze-contingent paradigm, in which an onscreen face mimics observers' own eye-gaze …

Commentary My face or yours? Event-related potential correlates of self-face processing

The own face is our most distinctive physical feature and the paramount representation of our own identity. In contrast to other pieces of self-related information, such as the own name, the own face is not shared with other people, and it is more …

Is place-value processing in four-digit numbers fully automatic? Yes, but not always

Knowing the place-value of digits in multi-digit numbers allows us to identify, understand and distinguish between numbers with the same digits (e.g., 1492 vs. 1942). Research using the size congruency task has shown that the place-value in a string …

Multisensory stimulation with other-race faces and the reduction of racial prejudice

This study investigated whether multisensory stimulation with other-race faces can reduce racial prejudice. In three experiments, the faces of Caucasian observers were stroked with a cotton bud while they watched a black face being stroked in …

Automaticity in subtractions depends on problem-size

The evidence showing that simple multiplications and additions can be solved by direct retrieval is considerable. However, evidence about division and subtraction is less compelling. By using a cross-operation interference paradigm, the present …

Generalization across View in Face Memory and Face Matching

While a change in view is considered to be one of the most damaging manipulations for facial identification, this phenomenon has been measured traditionally with tasks that confound perceptual processes with recognition memory. This study explored …
