Experience is known to be a key element involved in the modulation of face-processing abilities as manifested by the inversion effect, other-race, and other-age effects. Yet, it is unclear how exposure refines internal perceptual representations of faces to give rise to such behavioral effects. To address this issue, we investigated short- and long-term experienced stimulus history on face processing.

- Atypical face perception in individuals with autism has been linked to social challenges, with debates ongoing about whether these deficits are due to perception issues or lack of experiential refinement.
- A study involving autistic and non-autistic participants revealed that autistic individuals showed less distinction in processing own- and other-race faces, using only the most recently seen faces instead of forming a broader internal representation.
- These findings suggest that the way autistic individuals process faces differs fundamentally from non-autistics, which may explain their difficulties in face recognition and social interactions.
Face recognition shows a long trajectory of development and is known to be closely associated with the development of social skills. However, it is still debated whether this long trajectory is perceptually based and what the role is of experience-based refinements of face representations throughout development. We examined the effects of short and long-term experienced stimulus history on face processing, using regression biases of face representations towards the experienced mean.
