Abstract

A scientists’ challenge is to understand how an infant's brain learns to efficiently process visual information. An infant's range of focus is short for several months, and faces enter into this range more often than any other scene. Within a few months of birth, the brain can differentiate faces from other objects and an infant can recognize a known face from a stranger's. The repetition of face stimulus in conjunction with the relatively short time it takes for recognition to occur suggests there may be more regularity among facial stimuli, or perhaps a more sensitive information processing mechanism biased towards facial stimuli.
