Consider the Implicit Association Test in which people are asked to categorize words as well as Caucasian/AfricanAmerican names.

b. Participants take longer to pair positive words with older-sounding names and negative words with youngersounding names than vice versa.

d. Participants are quicker to recognize and categorize photos of young faces than photos of older faces.
