Infants' Differential Processing of Female and Male Faces (2006, positive): “First, 3-to 4-month-olds have more difficulty discriminating among male faces and subsequently recognizing them than they do female faces (Quinn et al., 2002).”
Infant Categorization of Faces: Ladies First. (2005, positive): “This early asymmetry in discrimination abilities is reXected in 3- to 4-month-olds’ ability to recognize a previously seen exemplar from a series of female faces, and their inability to recognize a previously seen exemplar from a series of male faces (Quinn et al., 2002).”
Development of the other-race effect during infancy: Evidence toward universality? (2009, background): “Differential recognition capabilities are also observed for gender at 3 months of age (Quinn et al., 2002) in addition to species (Pascalis, de Haan, & Nelson, 2002; Pascalis et al.”
Perception of Multisensory Gender Coherence in 6- and 9-month-old Infants (2015, positive): “…that have found that 3- to 4-month-old infants reared by a female primary caregiver exhibit a spontaneous preference for female over male faces (Quinn et al., 2002) and that infants are more efficient at categorizing female as opposed to male faces (Ramsey et al., 2005; Quinn et al., 2002;…”
The influence of social groups on goal contagion (2008, methodology): “Although use of this variable prevents random assignment, gender is one of the first social characteristics perceived ( Quinn, Yahr, Kuhn, Slater, & Pascalis, 2002 ) and serves as a primary characteristic on which individuals are categorized (Brewer & Lui, 1989).”
Experience-Based and On-Line Categorization of Objects in Early Infancy (2010, background): “categories both as collections of individual items (e.g., Hayne, Rovee-Collier, & Perris, 1987; Quinn et al., 2002; Younger, 1993) and as organized around prototypes (e.”
The Other-Race Effect Develops During Infancy (2007, result): “Additional evidence supporting this conclusion comes from a study concerning gender preference ( Quinn, Yahr, Kuhn, Slater, & Pascalis, 2002 ), which showed that 3- to 4-month-old infants raised primarily bya female caregiverdemonstrate a visual preference for female over male faces, whereas infants”
