The dual-process models suggest that there are two forms of recognition: familiarity and recollection. The results of cognitive neuroscience on recollection and familiarity suggest that they are two functionally dissociable processes, and they rely on qualitatively distinct brain regions or neural mechanisms.In daily life, we often feel that people of other races appear more similar to each other than people of our own race, and it is very difficult to recognize members from another race, this phenomenon is referred to as 'the other-race effect'. Although the other-race effect is commonly accepted among experts in the areas of law and psychology, there is no widely accepted account of the reason for the effect and the mechanisms through which it works.Prior research on familiarity and recollection has relied largely on verbal material, The present study investigated the old/new effect of familiarity and recollection, as well as the other-race effect during the retrieval of east faces and west faces by using 64-channel ERP technology, the result provided the dual-process models and the neural mechanism of other-race effect some supplements. The participants were the students of Capital Normal University.For both faces, the result showed significant old/new effect of familiarity and recollection. Both memory experiences were associated with bilateral, parietal-maximum brain potentials, relative to recollection, familiarity has smaller amplitudes and shorter duration. There is no differences between familiarity and recollection for west faces.For other-race effect, a possible pre-attentive process difference associated with the race of the faces. The other-race effect of recollection was obvious in frontal scalp, the differences were significant in left Hemisphere, but not in right hemisphere, whereas the posterior scalp and frontal left hemisphere mainly showed the other-race effect of familiarityThe human's ability of recognizing faces is dissociated from non-face object recognition. The present study indicated that there was an occipitotemporal face-specific N170, which reflected the early stage of face visual analysis.
