Alan M. Slater on Perception - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 76 Face perception/Meltzoff/Slater: It has long been accepted that human newborns have a preference to attend to faces, and hence a representation of faces. However, there is no consensus on how elaborate this representation may be. Given that newborns could not imitate facial gestures without attending to the internal features (eyes, mouth, etc.) of the face Meltzoff and Moore’s findings were the first clear evidence that newborns attend to internal facial features. Slater: Additional evidence in support of this suggestion was provided by the finding that newborn infants prefer to look at the more attractive of two faces when these are shown side by side and that they use information about internal facial features in making preferences based on attractiveness (Slater et al. 2000)(1). >Explanation/Meltzoff.
