Development of the other-race effect during infancy: Evidence toward universality? (2009, result): “The observed decrease in processing abilities for other-race faces may initially seem counterintuitive, but in fact it is consistent with the notion of ‘‘perceptual narrowing” as outlined by Nelson (2001) .”
Perceptual learning: 12-month-olds' discrimination of monkey faces. (2012, background): “…broader knowledge of early development and has become one of the most widely studied areas of infant development (see Barrera & Maurer, 1981; Farah, Wilson, Drain, & Tanaka, 1998; Johnson, Dziurawiec, Ellis, & Morton, 1991; Nelson, 2001; Pascallis & Kelly, 2009; Slater et al., 2010, for reviews).”
The Biological Implausibility of the Nature-Nurture Dichotomy & What It Means for the Study of Infancy (2011, background): “…social experience given findings from humans and non-humans showing that social experience plays a critical role in development in a myriad of ways (Gottlieb, 1991a, 1991b, 1997; Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Maurer, Mondloch, & Lewis, 2007; Michel & Tyler, 2005; Nelson, 2001; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
The Other-Race Effect Develops During Infancy (2007, background): “Our results are consistent with the notion of general perceptual narrowing during infancy (e.g., Nelson, 2001).”
Motor Coordination and Social–Emotional Behaviour in Preschool‐aged Children (2008, background): “The ability to recognise faces is thought to be learned over time, and through continued exposure produces a specialised area for face recognition in the infero-temporal cortex (Nelson, 2001).”
Intermodal Perception and Selective Attention to Intersensory Redundancy: Implications for Typical Social Development and Autism (2010, background): “Others argue that although face processing is "special", it differs in degree, nm kind, from processing of complex nonsocial objects (Diamond & C arey, 1986; Farah Wilson, Drain, & Tanaka, 1998; Gauthier & Tarr, 1997; Gauthier & Nelson , 2001; Nelson, 2001; Turati, 2004).”
Can a Nonspecific Bias Toward Top-Heavy Patterns Explain Newborns' Face Preference? (2004, background): “In this same vein, Nelson (2001) argued that the development of face Address correspondence to Viola Macchi Cassia, Dipartimento di Psicologia, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, piazza dell’ Ateneo Nuovo 1, 20126 Milano, Italy; e-mail: viola.macchicassia@ unimib.it.”
Subcortical face processing (2005, background): “, and that this is largely supported by subcortical processing, has come under continuing scrutiny over the past decad”
Neural Bases of Cognitive Development (2007, background): “There are a number of environmental agents that lead to disorders associated with errors in axonal and dendritic development, including oxygen deprivation, toxins, malnutrition , or genetic anomalies (Webb, Monk, & Nelson, 2001).”
Impact of tourism development upon environmental sustainability: a suggested framework for sustainable ecotourism (2022, background): “Place change can result from fundamental community restructuring due to economic development, new class divides, and migration of both longterm and temporary people (Nelson 2001).”
Recognition, discrimination and categorization of smiling by 5‐month‐old infants (2003, background): “Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters & Wall, 1978), and these preferences are presumably based on experience and close processing of facial features, including emotional expressions ( Nelson, 2001 ).”
The Developmental Course of Habituation in Infancy and Preschool Outcome (2004, background): “It is worth noting some researchers regard faces as being subject to specialized perceptual processing that may be innately determined to different degrees (e.g., de Haan, Humphries, & Johnson, 2002; Nelson, 2001).”
Three-month-olds, but not newborns, prefer own-race faces. (2005, background): “It is possible that the outcomes of the two studies bear a complementary relationship to each other if viewed from a perceptual-expertise framework (Gauthier & Nelson, 2001; Quinn et al. , 2002).”
Cerebral and behavioural assymetries in animal social recognition (2012, background): “, the face inversion effect , Diamond and Carey , 1986 ; the other species effect , Pascalis , de Haan and Nelson , 2002 ; see also Nelson , 2001 ) .”
Understanding the Nature of Face Processing Impairment in Autism: Insights From Behavioral and Electrophysiological Studies (2005, methodology): “In a contrasting model, Nelson (2001) suggested that rather than innate processing mechanisms specific to faces or processing strategy, there is the innate potential for cortical specialization for faces.”
A Domain-General Theory of the Development of Perceptual Discrimination (2007, background): “Development of Face Perception It has been hypothesized that the ability to discriminate between faces that are not consistently present in infants’ early environment declines between 6 and 9months of age (Nelson, 2001).”
