Faces are arguably the most significant visual stimuli in children’s social environment. Much of children’s adaptive social functioning relies on their success in extracting crucial information from the faces of their social partners. In this chapter, we provide an exhaustive review of both classic and current research on the development of face processing from infancy to adolescence. The topics covered range from the processing of facial attractiveness to face categorization and recognition. In addition to behavioral studies, we also review the most recent developmental neuroscience findings regarding the neural mechanisms underlying the development of face-processing ability. Major theoretical issues and future directions of research are discussed.

ABSTRACT Recent research has been investigating how infants’ face processing is tuned by experience with different classes of faces early in development. The research reveals that different degrees of exposure to gender and race categories impacts how infants (1) organize faces into different social groupings, and (2) attend to and recognize individual faces within these general classes. In particular, early in development, infants may process a broad range of faces from different races and genders with equal facility. As infants develop and are selectively exposed to a limited number of face categories (i.e., one’s own race and the gender of the primary caregiver) they come to demonstrate certain processing differences for those predominantly experienced categories relative to categories of lesser experience (i.e., increased visual attention, superior recognition, and categorization as opposed to categorical perception). The findings are interpreted in terms of their possible longer-term developmental consequences, including their relation to recognition differences observed in adults as well as social biases that lead to stereotyping and prejudicial belief systems. The possibility that infant looking is guided by complementary systems for representing people and objects is also considered.

Experience plays a crucial role in the development of the face processing system. At 6 months of age infants can discriminate individual faces from their own and other races. By 9 months of age this ability to process other-race faces is typically lost, due tominimal experience with other-race faces, and vast exposure to own-race faces, for which infants come tomanifest expertise [1]. This is known as the Other Race Effect. In the current study, we demonstrate that exposing Caucasian infants to Chinese faces through perceptual training via picture books for a total of one hour between 6 and 9months allows Caucasian infants to maintain the ability to discriminate Chinese faces at 9 months of age. The development of the processing of face race can be

Perception of object persistence across occlusion emerges at around 4 months of age for objects moving horizontally or vertically. In addition, congruent auditory information for movement enhances perception of persistence of an object moving horizontally. In two experiments, we examined the effect of presenting bimodal (visual and auditory) sensory information, both congruently and incongruently, for a vertical moving object occlusion event. A total of 68 4-month-old infants (34 girls) were tested for perception of persistence of an object moving up and down, passing at each translation behind a centrally placed occluder. Infants were exposed to these visual events accompanied by no sound, spatially colocated sound, or congruent or incongruent pitch-height correspondence sounds. Both spatially colocated and congruent pitch-height auditory information enhanced perception of trajectory continuity. However, no impairment occurred when pitch-height sound information was presented incon...
