Infant Preferences for Attractive Faces: Rudiments of a Stereotype?
Langlois, Judith H.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n3 p363-69 May 1987
Two studies, one with two- to three-month-olds and one with six- to eight-month-olds, examined infant preferences for attractive faces. A visual preference technique was used. Infants were shown slides of faces of adult women previously rated for attractiveness. When shown pairs of attractive and unattractive faces, older and younger infants looked longer at attractive faces. (Author/BN)
