Abstract

Empirical evidence gathered among different cultures suggests that visual perception, attention and overallcognition are influenced by cultural contexts. Studies comparing western and eastern cultures present strong datashowing differences on face recognition, spatial attention and other cognitive aspects. Based on those assertions,the present study proposes a reaction-time task to assess implicit cognition in children to understand thedevelopment of self-concept based on other cognitive functions such as face perception. Participated from thisstudy 36 Brazilian children with age range of 9-to-11 years old. Participants were divided by ascendance-Japanese and Western; and paired by age and sex. An Implicit Association Test was programmed to measure thelevel of implicit attitude of participants towards their own and the other studied ethnicity. Results suggest that,despite of same nationality—all children were Brazilian; cultural background plays an important role on diversecognitive domains.
