The book explores the Own-Race Bias (ORB), highlighting how individuals better recognize faces of their own race due to developmental experiences. It delves into the distinction between configural and featural face processing, examining age-related changes in ORB and how superior perception of configural information in familiar faces contributes to this bias. Additionally, it includes a study with children and adults with high-functioning autism to assess differences in face perception processes. It targets researchers focused on development, face perception, and autism.
