Abstract: The own-age effect refers to a phenomenon that individuals show superior performance in identifying faces of their own age when compared with other-age faces.Based on 3(age of participants)×3(age of faces) mixed factors design,the experiment aims to explore the ability of individuals at different ages recognizing their own-age and other-age faces and influence of the own-age effect on judgments of learning.The results showed both young and older adults recognized own-age faces more accurately than other-age faces,however,this performance did not appear in children group;there was no significant difference among groups in the discrepancy of accuracy of judgments of learning for the own-age and other-age faces.These results indicated young and older adults but children showed the own-age effect when they recognize the faces of different ages.No own-age effect in the judgments of learning was found in the present experimental situation.

Key words: face recognition, judgments of learning, own-age effect, children, young adults, older adults
