This review summarizes early human motor development. From early fetal age motor
behavior is based on spontaneous neural activity: activity of networks in the brainstem and …

New efforts are using head cameras and eye-trackers worn by infants to capture everyday
visual environments from the point of view of the infant learner. From this vantage point, the …

Face‐to‐face interaction between infants and their caregivers is a mainstay of
developmental research. However, common laboratory paradigms for studying dyadic …

Recently acquired fMRI data from human and macaque infants provide novel insights into
the origins of cortical networks specialized for perceiving faces. Data from both species …

Researchers can study complex developmental phenomena with all the inherent noise and
complexity or simplify behaviors to hone in on the essential aspects of a phenomenon. We …

Infants and toddlers view the world, at a basic sensory level, in a fundamentally different way
from their parents. This is largely due to biological constraints: infants possess different body …

In crowded and cluttered environments, infants can reduce visual clutter by using manual
actions to bring objects closer to the eyes, what we refer to as hand-eye coordination. Hand …

For human infants, social interactions with adults can provide various opportunities for
learning and communicative development. To take advantage of such opportunities, infants …

During the first year of life face discrimination abilities narrow toward adult human faces of
the most frequently encountered ethnic group/s. Earlier studies showed that perceptual …

Infants acculturate to their soundscape over the first year of life (eg, Hannon & Trehub,
2005a; Werker & Tees, 1984). This perceptual tuning of early auditory skills requires …
