2019, Developmental Cognitive NeuroscienceExpression-invariant face recognition using a biological disparity energy model
2018, NeurocomputingCitation Excerpt :Newborns already show a visual preference for faces and the capacity of prototyping them very rapidly [11,52]. At about four months, infants are able to discriminate upright faces from upside-down ones, and at six months they show different brain potentials in case of familiar vs.unfamiliar faces [9,15]. Hence, faces provide the most important biometric cues [21].
Developmental Trajectories of Object and Spatial Recognition Memory in Infant Rhesus Macaques
2018, Handbook of Behavioral NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Further developmental studies are required to further associate the different developmental remodelling processes within the hippocampus as well as with its interactions with other cortical areas, such as the medial temporal and prefrontal cortex. These findings in monkeys concur with the presence of incidental object recognition memory abilities in early infancy humans (for review, see Fagan, 1990; Pascalis and de Schonen, 1994; Rose et al., 2004), indicating a progressive increase in object recognition abilities over long delays during the first year of life (Fagan, 1972; Cornell, 1974; Rose, 1981; Diamond, 1990). Furthermore, the development of spatial memory abilities in humans appears to also follow a similar developmental time course.

2015, International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences: Second EditionDevelopmental Origins of the Face Inversion Effect
2015, Advances in Child Development and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Studies of the effects of inversion on face recognition with infants during the first year of life, however, have produced mixed results. The first evidence that inversion affects infants’ face recognition comes from a classic study by Fagan (1972, Experiment 1). Using a familiarization/recognition test procedure, infants around 5–6 months of age were shown a pair of identical black-and-white pictures of faces for 1–2 min during familiarization.
The development of face expertise: Evidence for a qualitative change in processing
2018, Cognitive DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :These results indicate a qualitative shift in the way children code faces at age 10 from an inexpert to expert mechanism (Baudouin, Gallay, Durand, & Robichon, 2010; Mondloch, Leis, & Maurer, 2006). However, other authors have reported that the FIE is apparent in three- (Carey, 1981), five- (Fagan, 1972; Flin, 1983), or seven-year-old children (Young and Bion, 1981, 1982) leading to parallel improvements in recognition skills (Itier & Taylor, 2004). Proponents of the view that the FIE does not increase with age highlight that the studies that fail to show an FIE in younger participants suffer from floor effects (Young and Bion, 1981).
