===Attention theory of learning===
Attention theory of learning proposes that features of majority groups are learned first, and then features of minority groups.  This results in an attempt to distinguish the minority group from the majority, leading to these differences being learned more quickly. The Attention theory also argues that, instead of forming one stereotype regarding the minority group, two stereotypes, one for the majority and one for the minority, are formed.<ref name=Sherman>{{cite journal|last1=Sherman|first1=Jeffrey W.|last2=Kruschke|first2=John K.|author-link2=John K.
