Abstract

We studied specific and general characteristics of viewing images of ethnic faces by Russians and Tuvans using transitional series between images of European and Mongoloid type faces. The study revealed significant differences between Tuvan and Russian samples in the frequency of the occurrence of isostatic oculomotor patterns in the perception of the extreme members of the series represented by photos of a Mongoloid and a Caucasian. Comparison within the Russian and Tuvan samples did not reveal differences. The distribution of isostatic patterns in the perception of a significant part of the transition series was almost the same for both samples.
