The summary of Cognitive Costs of Exposure to Racial Prejudice by Salvatore, J and Shelton, N discuss about cognitive effects when a person is faced with racial prejudice. There are different types of prejudice mentioned in the article such as: White American’s who have experience with prejudice, and ethnic minorities’ experiences with prejudice. People who have experiences with prejudice do not think of them as a potential target group; however, when they experience the blatant prejudice, those people will be harder to accept the fact. On the other hand, ethnic minorities’ experience with prejudice will consider themselves as a target group for racial acts. These ethnic groups who have experience with prejudice would go to get a negative feedback

Compare to Black and White Americans, White Americans would tend to collapse when exposed to disreputable practices. Black and White Americans have a different prejudice that affects different cognitive impairment: “Cognitive impairment was more pronounced when an in-group member was being evaluated by an out-group member than when an out-group member was being evaluated by an in-group member” (Salvatore & Shelton, 2007). The research indicates that White Americans could not handle blatant prejudice, because they were not adaptive to experience the target group of prejudice. On the other hand, Black American’s results showed that their cognitive impairment results higher when expose to ambiguous prejudice: “Furthermore, because of the relatively, ambiguous nature of contemporary expressions of prejudice, the implications of the finding that ambiguous prejudice depletes cognitive functioning for member of traditionally disadvantaged groups are potentially widespread” (Salvatore & Shelton, …show more content…
Black Americans having to fight with racial prejudice was very common in every country; however, the country that I came from never expected that White Americans is also suffering from racial prejudice as well. This study was focusing that effect of cognitive impairment during the job interview; however, the cognitive damage after the getting the job can be predicts higher level. Therefore, in my point of view, instead of doing a research after getting the job would provide further evidences of cognitive impairment. Other those, the research is remarkable and it provided a lot variable information, it made me wonder if there was further explanation would have been easier to understand the study. It contained the scientific research and method; however, understanding the actual research is little difficult. In addition, if the research actually showed scientific evidence of which part of the brain function would be damaged can be an idea of development as well. The implications of this study would be huge for college student how did not know about racial prejudice that affects cognitive
