之前的实验人员发现，4天大的新生儿看母亲脸的时间比看陌生人脸的时间长。 我们在婴儿仅获得有关身份的视觉信息、且不存在与母亲脸部相关的所有常见刺激的情况下重复了这一发现。 造成这种现象的结构不能与 Conspec 等同，Conspec 是新生儿面部偏好的先天结构（Johnson & Morton，1991）。 在第二个实验中，我们表明，当两个女人都戴着头巾时，婴儿不会区分母亲和陌生人。 这表明，与年龄较大的婴儿不同（de Schonen、Gil de Diaz 和 Mathivet，1986；de Schonen 和 Mathivet，1990），新生儿获得了母亲面部的表征，其中发际线和外部轮廓是不可分割的一部分。 这表明负责新生儿表现的系统与较大婴儿的系统不同。
Previous experimenters have found that 4-day-old neonates look longer at their mother's face than at a stranger's face. We have replicated this finding under conditions where the infants are only provided with visual information on identity, with all the usual stimuli associated with the presence of the mother's face absent. The structure responsible for this cannot be equated with Conspec, the innate structure underlying face preference in neonates (Johnson & Morton, 1991). In a second experiment, we show that infants do not discriminate mother from stranger when both women are wearing head scarves. This indicates that, unlike older infants (de Schonen, Gil de Diaz, & Mathivet, 1986; de Schonen & Mathivet, 1990), neonates acquire a representation of their mother's face in which the hair line and outer contour have an integral part. This suggests that the system responsible for the neonates' performance is not the same as the one at work in older infants.
