Recent findings on the development of face processing and preferences in early childhood
Fri, March 24, 8:30 to 9:15am, Salt Palace Convention Center, Floor: 2, Meeting Room 250 DSession Type: Flash Talk Session
Abstract
Starting from birth or even earlier, children show a preference for faces and a remarkable abilit to recognize and discriminate between different familiar and unfamiliar faces. This skill develops over the first years of life following a non-linear trajectory that includes periods of skill increase and decline. In this flash talk session, recent findings on face perception and processing from infancy to early childhood will be examined. Talks cover the generalizability of the infant female face preference across different aged faces, the impact of general anetshesia on the timing of perceptual narrowing, and the interactions between face identity and speech processing in young children.
