Abstract
COHEN, SARALE E. Developmental Differences in Infants' Attentional Responses to Face-Voice Incongruity of Mother and Stranger. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1974, 45, 1155-1158. Early perceptual-cognitive development was studied in 48 infants, 5 and 8 months old. Attentional behaviors were observed to systematic presentations of face-voice matching and mismatching of mother and a female stranger. Differences in the direction and duration of first fixation to congruous and incongruous conditions suggest that some of the 8-month-old infants may have developed specific auditory-visual expectations. Fixations at both ages were significantly longer to novel than to familiar figures; however, auditory novelty did not differ from auditory familiarity in determining visual fixation. Boys, at both ages, deployed their attention more widely than girls.
