• Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, neutral): “That is, as reported in prior studies (Haith et al., 1977; Merin et al., 2007), 4-month-olds looked more at the eyes than the mouth.”
• Young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder look differently at positive versus negative emotional faces (2008, result): “Second,thegroupwithASDlookedlessatthefeatureareas(eyes,nose,mouth)comparedtothe rest of the screen, which is in accord with various earlier studies (e.g., Klin et al., 2002; Merin, Young, Ozonoff, & Rogers, 2007; Pelphrey et al., 2002).”
• Infants deploy selective attention to the mouth of a talking face when learning speech (2012, background): “Interestingly, by 6 mo of age, infants begin to increase their looking at the mouth regardless of whether they see (15) and/or hear the face talking (16) but, even then, they still do not look more at the mouth than at the eyes.”
