Relevant and Irrelevant People: How Social Class and Race Shape Social Cognition
Four talks explore how social class and race guide the perceived (ir)relevance of other people. Relevance, in turn, shapes attention to and cognitive engagement with others. Focusing on physiological and behavioral measures, the studies explore outcomes ranging from neural processing and attention, to face memory and perspective taking.
