INFANTS' BIMODAL PERCEPTION OF GENDER

该项目将调查婴儿检测的进展情况 指定性别的多式联运不变量。提出了三个实验。 这些涉及婴儿对不变的通道间关系的检测 单面合一的双峰呈现人(MF) 在第二个实验中，对一系列的面孔和声音进行实验，以及 对于一系列的面孔，伴随着一个性别特定的声音 最后的实验。年龄从四个月到五个月的婴儿将 用来确定这么小的婴儿是否有能力 基于通道间不变关系的复杂分类。这个 视觉偏好方法将在整个过程中使用。 该项目涉及由以下因素决定的行为发展 心理因素，特别是当它应用于如何发展 婴儿摘要和USS在多式联运活动中提供的信息 理解和构建他/她的环境。

This project will investigate the development of infants' detection of intermodal invariants specifying gender. Three experiments are proposed. These concern infants' detection of invariant intermodal relations in bimodally-presented persons (MF) for a single pair of faces in one experiment, for a series of faces and voices in a second experiment, and for a series of faces accompanied by a single gender-specifying voice in a final experiment. Infants ranging in age from four to five months will be the subjects to determine whether infants this young are capable of sophisticated categorization based on intermodal invariant relations. The visual preference method will be used throughout. The project is concerned wit the devlopment of behavior as determined by psychological factors, particularly as it applies to how the developing infant abstracts and uss information given in intermodal events for understanding and structuring his/her environment.
