Facing A New Discovery!

Babies aged 9 months to 12 months, born full-term (38+ weeks) who live in the United States and belong to a racial or ethnic minority group within the U.S.

Your baby will see pictures of women’s faces of different races, and we will see how your baby attends to the faces.

Babies often prefer to look at faces that belong to races that are familiar to them and we are interested to learn more about how babies’ backgrounds affect their attention to faces from their own race and other races. This study benefits from babies participating no matter what their previous familiarity with faces from different races, and the results will increase our understanding of the development of face processing and face preferences in infants.
