Figure 1
Schematic representation of a trial in Experiment 1 (A) and Experiment 2 (B). Both examples show trials with a memory load of two items and Caucasian faces.
Table 1
Mean attractiveness (scale from 1, not at all, to 5, very much), age (scale from 1, very young, to 5, very old), and hit and false alarm rates for both Asian and Caucasian faces (SD in brackets).
| ATTRACTIVENESS | AGE | HIT RATE | FALSE ALARM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asian Faces | 2.89 (0.75) | 2.48 (0.80) | 0.61 (0.10) | 0.12 (0.08) |
| Caucasian Faces | 2.88 (0.81) | 2.50 (0.78) | 0.61 (0.10) | 0.12 (0.07) |
