Document Summary

Young infants" abilities to manually explore objects are limited by: lack of fine motor control of arms and hands. Young infants cannot reliably reach for and grasp objects (and their hands) to their mouths. To determine if a young infant can distinguish between the faces of her parents, research could: present cropped pictures, with only internal features, side by side and record looking time. Which is the best characterization of a full-term healthy neonate"s vision: the infant processes outlines of objects but not interior detail, color vision is limited. The proposal that humans have innate mechanisms for processing faces. Is plausible from an evolutionary standpoint: would be supported by case studies illustrating double dissociation. Evidence that experience expectant plasticity plays at least some role in facial processing comes from: studies of infant memory for monkey faces, studies of infant memory for mothers" faces, studies of infant memory for fathers" faces.
