Peer reviewedAbravanel, Eugene; DeYong, Nanette G. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Infants averaging 5 weeks and 12 weeks of age were presented with object models and a live model to determine whether infants reliably responded to the models with movement-matching facial gestures. Object models produced no reliable elicitation of gestures, but the live model increased the incidence of gestures among infants of five weeks. (SH)
