Brain Activity Differentiates Face and Object Processing in 6-Month-Old Infants.
de Haan, Michelle; Nelson, Charles A.
Developmental Psychology, v35 n4 p1113-21 Jul 1999
Used event-related potentials to determine whether infants show differences in spatial and temporal characteristics of brain activation during face and object recognition. Found that infants' experience with specific examples within categories and their general category knowledge influenced the neural correlates of visual processing. (Author/KB)
