Intermodal Perception of Adult and Child Faces and Voices by Infants.
Bahrick, Lorraine E.; Netto, Dianelys; Hernandez-Reif, Maria
Child Development, v69 n5 p1263-75 Oct 1998
Investigated 4- and 7-month olds' matching of unfamiliar, dynamic faces and voices on basis of age or maturity. Found significant matching at both ages; infant's prior experience with children appeared to facilitate matching at 7 months. Also found visual preference for children's faces. Another experiment assessed matching by 7-month olds, only with faces inverted; found no evidence of matching. (EV)
