Infants' Responses to Strangers: Midget, Adult, and Child
Brooks, Jeanne; Lewis, Michael
Child Development, 47, 2, 323-332, Jun 76
Facial configuration and height were systematically varied as four different strangers--a male and female child, a female adult and a small female adult (midget)--each approached 40 different infants. The infants responded as if there were 3 classes of persons, suggesting that both size and facial configuration cues were used. (Author/SB)
