The role of age and ethnic group in face recognition memory: ERP evidence from a combined own-age and own-race bias study

► Humans remember faces of their own age and ethnic group more accurately. ► Faces which are both other-race and other-age show no additive disadvantage. ► ERP repetition and old/new effects for own-race and own-age biases partly differ. ► Partly different neural mechanisms accompany the own-race and own-age biases.
