People are more accurate at recognizing faces from their own ethnic group than at recognizing faces from other ethnic groups. This other-ethnicity effect (OEE) in recognition may be produced by a deficit in recollective memory for other-ethnicity faces. In a single study, White and Black participants saw White and Black faces presented within several different visual contexts. The participants were then given an old/new recognition task. Old responses were followed by remember-know-guess judgments and context judgments. Own-ethnicity faces were recognized more accurately, were given more remember responses, and produced more accurate context judgments than did other-ethnicity faces. These results are discussed in a dual-process framework, and implications for eyewitness memory are considered.
人们在识别自己族群的面孔时比识别其他族群的面孔更加准确。这种识别中的异族效应（OEE）可能是由于对异族面孔的再认记忆缺陷造成的。在一项单一的研究中，白人和黑人参与者观看了在几种不同视觉环境下呈现的白人和黑人的面孔。然后，参与者接受了旧/新识别任务。对旧面孔的反应后是记得/知道/猜测判断和环境判断。与其他族群的面孔相比，自己族群的面孔识别更加准确，更多地被认为是“记得”，并且产生了更准确的环境判断。这些结果在双加工框架中进行了讨论，并考虑了其对口供记忆的影响。
