Recognition of Mother's Photographed Face by the Three-Month-Old Infant.
Barrera, Maria E.; Maurer, Daphne
Child Development, v52 n2 p714-16 Jun 1981
Visual preference and habituation paradigms were used to investigate the ability of three-month-olds to recognize the photographed face of the mother and to discriminate it from another face. Infants discriminated between the pictures of the mother and a stranger, both in the preference test and in the recognition test after habituation. (Author/RH)
