一系列的5个实验探讨了7个月的婴儿的能力,区分照片的面孔。婴儿倾向于选择新的视觉目标进行检查,这提供了辨别和识别的证据。最初的两个实验证明了婴儿区分成年男性面孔照片和同一个人面孔姿势的能力。在第三、第四和第五个实验中,先前暴露的面部的一些变体在识别测试中充当“熟悉”的目标。目的是观察婴儿是否能够识别先前看到的面孔的变体。证明了这种检测2个人脸实例共有特征的能力的3个例子:识别出男性脸部不同姿势的共有特征;婴儿对姿势的不变性做出反应;当另一个实例时,婴儿在识别测试中将一张脸识别为熟悉的同性面孔已被提交进行初步检查。在识别测试之前提供多个同性面孔的实例有助于后者的识别任务。
A series of 5 experiments explored the 7-month infant's ability to discriminate among photos of faces. The infant's tendency to choose novel visual targets for inspection provides evidence of discrimination and recognition. 2 initial experiments demonstrated the infants' ability to discriminate among photos of adult male faces and among poses of the same man's face. In the third, fourth, and fifth experiments, some variant of a face that had been previously exposed served as the "familiar" target on recognition testing. The aim was to see if the infant was capable of identifying the variant of the previously seen face. 3 examples of this ability to detect features common to 2 instances of faces were demonstrated: Features common to different poses of a man's face were recognized; infants responded to invariance in pose; and infants identified a face as familiar on recognition testing when another instance of that same-sex face had been presented for initial examination. Providing multiple instances of the same-sex face prior to recognition testing facilitated the latter identification task.
