Race as a visual feature: using visual search and perceptual discrimination tasks to understand face categories and the cross-race recognition deficit.

These findings support a new explanation for the cross-race (CR) recognition deficit based on feature coding differences between CR and SR faces, and appear incompatible with similarity-based models of face categories.
CLASSIFYING FACES BY RACE : THE STRUCTURE OF FACE CATEGORIES
- D. Levin

This article explored the finding that cross-race (CR) faces are more quickly classified by race than same race (SR) faces. T. Valentine and M. Endo (1992) modeled this effect by assuming that face…
Failure to detect changes to people during a real-world interaction
Recent research on change detection has documented surprising failures to detect visual changes occurring between views of a scene, suggesting the possibility that visual representations contain few…
Change blindness
People often fail to notice large changes to visual scenes, a phenomenon now known as change blindness. The extent of change blindness in visual perception suggests limits on our capacity to encode,…
Failure to detect changes to attended objects in motion pictures
Our intuition that we richly represent the visual details of our environment is illusory. When viewing a scene, we seem to use detailed representations of object properties and interobject relations…
Evidence for hypodescent and racial hierarchy in the categorization and perception of biracial individuals.

Individuals who qualify equally for membership in two racial groups provide a rare window into social categorization and perception and have implications for resistance to change in the American racial hierarchy.
Distortions in the perceived lightness of faces: the role of race categories.
White faces were consistently judged to be relatively lighter than Black faces, even for racially ambiguous faces that were disambiguated by labels, suggesting that relatively abstract expectations about the relative reflectance of objects can affect their perceived lightness.
Categorical perception occurs in newly learned faces, other-race faces, and inverted faces
- D. Levin, J. M. Beale

Results indicate that CP can be observed for unfamiliar faces, in both familiar (same-race) and unfamiliar groups, and it is argued that these CP effects are based on the rapid acquisition of perceptual equivalence classes.
Nothing compares 2 views: Change blindness can occur despite preserved access to the changed information
- S. Mitroff, D. Simons, D. Levin
- PsychologyPerception & Psychophysics
- 1 November 2004
Empirical support is provided for change blindness resulting from the failure to compare retained representations of both the pre- and postchange information: even when unaware of changes, observers still retained information about both the Pre- and Postchange objects on the same trial.
