Visual motion processing in one-month-old infants: Habituation experiments
The ability of infants to discriminate between opposite directions of motion was examined in infant control habituation experiments. A group of 3-5-week-olds showed no evidence of discrimination between a random-dot pattern which was segregated into regions that moved in opposite directions, and a uniform pattern in which the dots all moved in the same direction. However, they did discriminate ...
متن کاملReaching experience increases face preference in 3-month-old infants.
The developing infant learns about the physical and the social world by engaging with objects and with people. In the study reported here, we investigated the relationship between infants' interactions with the physical and the social world. Three-month-old infants were trained for 2 weeks and experienced either actively manipulating objects themselves or passively having objects touched to the...
متن کاملFace Gender Influences the Looking Preference for Smiling Expressions in 3.5-Month-Old Human Infants
Young infants are typically thought to prefer looking at smiling expressions. Although some accounts suggest that the preference is automatic and universal, we hypothesized that it is not rigid and may be influenced by other face dimensions, most notably the face's gender. Infants are sensitive to the gender of faces; for example, 3-month-olds raised by female caregivers typically prefer female...
متن کاملVisual motion processing in one-month-old infants: Preferential looking experiments
The ability of infants to discriminate between opposite directions of motion was assessed using forced-choice preferential looking between a random-dot pattern which was segregated into regions which moved in opposite directions, and a uniform pattern in which all the dots moved in the same direction. The first experiment measured velocity thresholds (Vmin and Vmax) for direction discrimination...
متن کامل[Twelve-month-old infants show social preferences for native-dialect speakers].
Recent research demonstrates that social preferences for native language speakers emerge early in development, indicating that infants prefer speakers from their own society. Dialect may also be a reliable cue to group membership because it provides information about an individual's social and ethnic identity. We investigated whether infants showed social preferences toward native-dialect speak...
