Infants' visual preferences in the presence and absence of auditory stimulation

Article Abstract:

Experimental studies of the effects of auditory stimuli on visual orientation in infants reveal a decrease in visual preference with auditory stimulation. A study of the infants' heart rates indicates that arousal plays a part in sensory responses. The time spent by the infants in looking at visual stimulus is independent of the nature of auditory stimulation.

Article Abstract:

Assessment of the ability of four-to-ten-year-old children in identifying their schoolmates from partially concealed and whole-face pictures of them revealed the subjects' judgments of external features to be more accurate than that of internal characteristics. All subjects displayed versatility in whole-face over part-face identification of their peers.
