Motor development and psychological development are fundamentally related, but
researchers typically consider them separately. In this review, we present four key features …

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 …

The human brain contains multiple regions with distinct, often highly specialized functions,
from recognizing faces to understanding language to thinking about what others are …

This article reviews research on the development of motor behavior from a developmental
systems perspective. We focus on infancy when basic action systems are acquired. Posture …

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 …

How does the brain encode information about the environment? Decades of research have
led to the pervasive notion that the object-processing pathway in primate cortex consists of …

Deep learning models currently achieve human levels of performance on real-world face
recognition tasks. We review scientific progress in understanding human face processing …

Within months of birth, children develop meaningful expectations about the world around
them. How much of this early knowledge can be explained through generic learning …

Human development takes place in a social context. Two pervasive sources of social
information are faces and hands. Here, we provide the first report of the visual frequency of …

We offer a new solution to the unsolved problem of how infants break into word learning
based on the visual statistics of everyday infant-perspective scenes. Images from head …
