Studies have shown that by the age of three, children of all races will assign good qualities to people of their own race and will single out other races when prompted to point out the "naughty boy. " Children with Williams Syndrome are the first group that researchers have come across who assign good and bad traits without any racial bias.

While this is an interesting finding, the fact that the first truly color-blind population group is known for its naivety and lacks common sense suggests racial bias may be a hard habit for humanity to break. Twitter and the Global Brain. How forming new memories help retain old ones. Try to remember this visual paired associate (AB): Now recall visual paired associate AB: Next, try to remember this new visual paired associate (AC): Now recall visual paired associate AC: Can you still remember the first visual paired associate AB?
(probably, it wasn't that hard) What if I were to pay you ten cents to remember? That's what Kuhl and colleagues found in their study published in the latest issue of Nature Neuroscience. They had all participants complete a task similar to the one just demonstrated, but used more novel pairings such as a watch and a pipe (yawn). Using fMRI, the authors found that left hippocampal activation during the learning of a latter visual paired associate predicted how well the first paired associate would be remembered.
