Investigating the Other-Race Effect of Germans towards Turks and Arabs using Multinomial Processing Tree Models

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The other-race effect (ORE) refers to the phenomenon that recognition memory for other-race faces is worse than for ownrace faces.We investigated whether White Germans exhibited an ORE towards Turkish or Arabic faces using a multinomial processing tree model (MPT), the two-high threshold model of recognition memory with three response categories (old, skip, and new).Using an MPT enabled us to adequately disentangle memory and response processes using the Fisher information approximation, a minimum description length based measure of model complexity.Results showed that participants exhibited an ORE on the memory parameters but not on the parameters representing response processes.
