Three-month-olds, but not newborns, prefer own-race faces.
Adults are sensitive to the physical differences that define ethnic groups. However, the age at which we become sensitive to ethnic differences is currently unclear. Our study aimed to clarify this by testing newborns and young infants for sensitivity to ethnicity using a visual preference (VP) paradigm. While newborn infants demonstrated no spontaneous preference for faces from either their ow...
متن کاملThree-Month-Olds Prefer Speech to Other Naturally Occurring Signals
Human infants show a preference for listening to speech, but little is known about how infants listen to other naturally occurring sounds. Here, we test infants’ listening bias for speech against a range of naturally occurring sounds that share properties of speech to varying extents and we aim to better characterize the speech properties that attract infant attention. We compared 3-month-olds’...
متن کاملEighteen-Month-Olds, but not 14-Month-Olds, Use Social Context to Bind Action Sequences
We demonstrate that 18-month-olds, but not 14-month-olds, can anticipate others' actions based on an interpretation of shared goals that bind together individual actions into a collaborative sequence. After viewing a sequence of actions performed by two people who socially interact, 18-month-olds bound together the socially engaged actors' actions such that they later expected the actors to sha...
متن کاملAsian infants show preference for own-race but not other-race female faces: the role of infant caregiving arrangements
Previous studies have reported that 3- to 4-month-olds show a visual preference for faces of the same gender as their primary caregiver (e.g., Quinn et al., 2002). In addition, this gender preference has been observed for own-race faces, but not for other-race faces (Quinn et al., 2008). However, most of the studies of face gender preference have focused on infants at 3-4 months. Development of...
متن کاملAttractiveness of own-race, other-race, and mixed-race faces.
Averaged face composites, which represent the central tendency of a familiar population of faces, are attractive. If this prototypicality contributes to their appeal, then averaged composites should be more attractive when their component faces come from a familiar, own-race population than when they come from a less familiar, other-race population. We compared the attractiveness of own-race co...
