The Reactions of Five-Month-Old Infants to Eye Contact of the Mother and of a Stranger.
Lasky, Robert E.; Klein, Robert E.
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v25 n3 p163-70 Jul 1979
Demonstrates that eye contact per se, and not solely the inherent attractiveness of the eyes and face, is salient to five-month-old infants. Five-month-old infants can distinguish when another person is looking at them, rather than at a nearby location. (Author/MP)
