Testing the own-age bias in face recognition among younger and older adults via the face inversion effect.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study examines the perceptual expertise basis of the own-age bias (OAB)-better recognition of faces from one's own age group-in young (n = 64; 19-30 years) and older adults (n = 64; 69-80 years). Participants engaged in an old/new recognition task involving upright and inverted young and older faces. The results revealed a robust OAB in the younger group, characterized by a reduced face inversion effect ("FIE")-more accurate recognition for upright versus inverted faces-when processing older/other-age faces compared to the pronounced FIE for own/younger-age faces. This difference was primarily driven by disrupted performance for upright older faces vs. upright young faces. In contrast, no OAB was observed in the older group, which exhibited a strong FIE for both own/older- and other/younger-age faces, with upright older faces being recognized more accurately than in the younger group. These findings underscore the importance of perceptual expertise in explaining the OAB.
