A note for Lesson no. 4, "Your Brain Predicts (Almost) Everything You Do," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 82 is:

Things are different after you grow up. You can hang out with all kinds of people.

Many, many research papers discuss the mechanisms that lead people to perceive faces differently depending on the amount of exposure, expertise, and so on. Here are just a few papers that suggest exposure to other race faces influences how you perceive and remember those faces, and that increased exposure can improve perception and memory for those faces.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
