Infants' Perception of Similarity between Live People and Their Photographs

Dirks, Jean; Gibson, Eleanor

Child Development, 48, 1, 124-130, Mar 77

Two experiments compared responses of 5-month-old infants to a live person, the person's photograph, photographs of dissimilar persons, and photographs of similar persons. Results indicated that infants use gross physiognomic features to perceive similarity between live persons and their photographs. (Author/JMB)
