Hemispheric Asymmetry in a Face Discrimination Task in Infants.
de Schonen, Scania; Mathivet, Eric
Child Development, v61 n4 p1192-1205 Aug 1990
Confirms the existence of a right-hemisphere advantage in the process of discriminating between face stimuli. The advantage was weaker in females than in males. No hemispheric transfer of learning was observed. Subjects were 18 infants of 42 weeks who were presented with an operant conditioning situation in which they discriminated between their mother's and a stranger's face. (RH)
