Infant Sensitivity to Deviations in Dynamic Facial--Vocal Displays: The Role of Eye Regard.

Caron, Albert J.; Caron, Rose; Roberts, Jennifer; Brooks, Rechele

Developmental Psychology, v33 n5 p802-13 Sep 1997

Three experiments compared infants' reactions to videos of normally responsive women varying in eye contact. Found that, relative to frontal faces, three-month olds smiled less at images averting head and eye (H&I), head alone (H), and closing eyes (ECL) but not at averting eyes (E). Five-month-olds smiled less at H&I, E, and ECL but not at H. (Author)
