A Cognitive-Developmental Approach to Racial Stereotyping and Reconstructive Memory in Euro-American Children.
Bigler, Rebecca S.; Liben, Lynn S.
Child Development, v64 n5 p1507-18 Oct 1993
To examine the role of cognitive skill and racial stereotyping in Euro-American children's processing of race-related information, 75 Euro-American children, aged 4 to 9 years, were asked to recall test stories that were either consistent or inconsistent with cultural racial stereotypes. As predicted, lower degrees of racial stereotyping were associated with better memory for counterstereotyping stories. (MDM)
