Abstract
Abstract Research by Judith Langlois and her colleagues has demonstrated that people's preferences for attractive faces exist well before the effects of socialization from parents, peers, and media. In fact, humans form a clear preference for attractive faces during infancy. Some researchers have suggested that this preference for attractive faces is the result of an innate template that provides a domain‐specific beauty detection module. However, others suggest that people's preferences develop as a function of cognitive averaging, a domain‐general information processing mechanism that allows us to average across exemplars within a category.
