Three experiments were carried out to analyze the component processes contributing to observed asymmetries in face perception, to determine whether these asymmetries occur for complex visuospatial stimuli other than human faces, and to investigate the effects of expertise on the asymmetries. Two component processes contributed to the observed asymmetries: perceptual bias (PB) in the observer and face asymmetries (FA). There was no PB effect for complex visuospatial stimuli other than human faces (landscapes, abstract paintings and animal faces). Expertise effects were investigated by examining the judgments of Chinese and Caucasian subjects for own-race and other-race faces. A PB was found for both Caucasian and Chinese faces, but the size of the effect was not related unequivocally to expertise. Caucasian subjects showed a PB for own-race faces only, but Chinese subjects showed a PB for both Chinese and Caucasian faces. There was no FA effect for Chinese faces, even when the composites were perceived as more dissimilar than the Caucasian composites, for which there was an FA effect. The implications of these results for the theoretical interpretation of perceptual asymmetries are discussed.
