In the present study, we examined whether children and older adults exhibit an own-age face recognition bias. Participants studied photographs of children, younger adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults and were administered a recognition test. Results showed that both children and older adults more accurately recognized own-age faces than other-age faces. These data suggest that individuals may acquire expertise for identifying faces from their own age group and are discussed in terms of Sporer's (2001) in-group/out-group model of face recognition.
在本研究中，我们考察了儿童和老年人是否表现出对同年龄段面孔的识别偏好。参与者研究了儿童、年轻成年人、中年成年人和老年人的照片，并接受了识别测试。结果显示，儿童和老年人识别同年龄段面孔的准确率均高于识别其他年龄段面孔。这些数据表明，个体可能会获得识别自己年龄组面孔的专业能力，并且根据斯波勒（2001年）的面孔识别内群体/外群体模型进行了讨论。
