Abstract
Summary A model, using schema theory, is offered to explain inferior recognition memory for “foreign” faces. Support for this interpretation is derived from a variety of studies (total N = 671 males and females ages three years through adult): the development of facial schemata, comparative efficiency of own-race face recognition with other-race recognition, correlation between own-race and other-race recognition performance measures, and inverted face recognition.

It was argued that events that possessed a high rate of change in their physical characteristics, that were moderately discrepant from established schemata, and that activated hypotheses in the service of assimilation had the greatest power to recruit and maintain attention in the young child.

Inverted black-white photographs of the faces of highly familiar peers (classmates, fraternity brothers, etc.) were presented to 350 Ss ranging from 3 to 20 years of age, and success was positively correlated with age up to approximately 14 years, but performance deteriorated after this age.

By reference to physical and psychological data, this paper attempts to indicate its primarily behavioural bases and to show why groups chosen for study on the basis of extreme test score will tend to regress towards the mean of the general population, while regression of extreme scores in groups not so selected will be towards themean of their own specific population.
