Which term is the biased memory for faces of one's own race more accurately than faces of other races?

• A. Ingroup
• B. Aggression
• C. Discrimination
• D. Other-Race Effect

Answer: (D)

The Other-Race Effect is the tendency to recognize and remember faces from one’s own racial group more accurately than faces from other racial groups. This happens because people have far more experience with own-race faces, which trains fine-grained perceptual discrimination and detailed encoding of subtle facial features. With other-race faces, processing often becomes more generalized or categorical, making it harder to individuate and recall who a person is. As a result, memory accuracy is higher for own-race faces, and this bias can affect things like eyewitness accuracy. This phenomenon is about perceptual experience and face memory, not about group membership, aggression, or unfair treatment.
