The other-race effect has been found to exist in both adults (Meissner & Brigham, 2001) and infants (Kelly et al., 2007). It is most often described in terms of discrimination abilities and manifests itself as an own-race recognition advantage. While recognition advantages for own-race faces have been found as early as 3 months (Sangrigoli & de Schonen, 2004), what remains unclear is whether different attentional patterns can be detected during the scanning of own- versus other-race faces in infancy. The present study investigated whether infants viewing own- and other-race faces displayed differential scanning and fixation patterns that may contribute to the previously reported own-race recognition advantage.
