Abstract
This chapter presents some issues come from adult studies on face processing. Based on these issues the results of face preference at birth are discussed. The results suggest that newborns have an innate mechanism specifically devoted to process some information concerning the structure of facial properties. According to Karmiloff-Smith (1991), it is supposed that neonates are pre-programmed to attend to some classes of relevant enviromental input that determine the entities on which subsequent learning takes place.File in questo prodotto:
