Description
In this Video Abstract, Charlotte Viktorsson talks about her JCPP paper 'Preferential looking to eyes versus mouth in early infancy: heritability and link to concurrent and later development'. From birth, infants orient preferentially to faces, and when looking at the face, they attend primarily to eyes and mouth. These areas convey different types of information, and earlier research suggests that genetic factors influence the preference for one or the other in young children.
Learning Objectives
1. Assess eye (relative to mouth) preference in early infancy.
2. Investigate the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the preference for looking at eyes.
3. Explore the association with concurrent traits and follow-up measures.
