Schematic eye-gaze cues influence infants’ object encoding dependent on their contrast polarity

Abstract We examined infants’ sensitivity to eye-gaze direction and its influence on object processing in 4-month-old infants by manipulating low-level properties of gaze cues. Infants were presented with two kinds of stimuli that either did or did not cue novel objects. The movement of a schematic...
