The research suggests that infants exposed to fewer faces of people from different races are more likely to develop stronger race-based preferences as they age. Therefore, Sara, who lives in an eastern European orphanage and potentially has limited exposure to people of different races, may be visually wired to be most prejudiced as an adult. Ramon, who lives in New York City, is likely exposed to a diverse range of people and cultures, which may reduce the potential for prejudiced attitudes. Sonya, who was adopted from an eastern European orphanage at a young age, may have had increased exposure to diversity and may not develop strong prejudiced attitudes as an adult.
