Five- and Eight-Month-Old Infants Recognize Their Faces and Voices as Familiar and Social Stimuli.
Legerstee, Maria; Anderson, Diane; Schaffer, Alliza
Child Development, v69 n1 p37-50 Feb 1998
Presented five- and eight-month olds with silent moving and static video images of self, peer, and doll, and sounds of self and nonsocial objects. Found that recognition of one's image develops through experience with dynamic facial stimulation during first eight months. By five months, infants treat their faces and voices as familiar and social stimuli. (Author/KB)
