Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “For example, as early as 2 months of age, infants can match facially and vocally produced native speech syllables even when the audible syllable is synchronized with both visual syllables (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982; Patterson & Werker, 1999, 2002, 2003; Walton & Bower, 1993).”
The Development of the Uncanny Valley in Infants (2011, background): “…but 7- month-olds do (Caron, Caron, & MacLean, 1988), 5- month-old infants do not exhibit matching of visual and audible affect but 7-month-old infants do (Walker- Andrews, 1986), and 4-month-old infants do not perceive audiovisual gender information but 8-month-olds do (Patterson & Werker, 2002).”
PRIMIR: A Developmental Framework of Infant Speech Processing (2005, background): “The use of culturally specific indexical information is seen in tasks requiring matching of culturally specific display attributes, such as gender information in the face and voice (Patterson & Werker, 2002).”
Monkeys match the number of voices they hear to the number of faces they see. (2005, background): “Both infants and monkeys prefer to look at the visual stimulus that matches the auditory stimulus they hear [18–22].”
Heterochrony and Cross-Species Intersensory Matching by Infant Vervet Monkeys (2009, background): “infant Old World monkeys [6,7,8,9] and humans [10,11,12].”
Infant perception of audio-visual speech synchrony. (2010, background): “Several prior studies have shown that infants are able to match the auditory and visual attributes of speech even when A-V temporal synchrony cues are not available (Kuhl & Meltzoff, 1982, 1984; Patterson & Werker, 1999, 2002, 2003).”
Infant Categorization of Faces: Ladies First. (2005, unknown): “Whereas the Wrst two studies suggest that infants can match the faces and voices of both sexes between 6 and 8 months of age (Patterson & Werker, 2002; Walker-Andrews et al., 1991), the second two studies suggest that infants can match only female faces and voices around 9 months of age, but cannot…”
Perception of Multisensory Gender Coherence in 6- and 9-month-old Infants (2015, unknown): “Subsequent studies only found evidence of the ability to perceive the multisensory coherence of gender starting either at 8 months of age (Patterson & Werker, 2002) or as late as 9–12 months of age (PoulinDubois, Serbin, Kenyon, & Derbyshire, 1994).”
Recognition of Amodal Language Identity Emerges in Infancy (2013, background): “Finally, by 8 months infants can perceive face-voice gender equivalence (Patterson & Werker, 2002) and can perform adult-like integration of auditory and visual spatial localization cues (Neil, Chee-Ruiter, Scheier, Lewkowicz, & Shimojo, 2006).”
Two-month-old infants match phonetic information in lips and voice (2003, background): “This finding is particularly noteworthy since infants are unable to reliably match gender information in face and voice with these same stimuli until 8 months of age (Patterson & Werker, 2002).”
The decline of cross-species intersensory perception in human infants: underlying mechanisms and its developmental persistence. (2008, background): “Consistent with this improvement, evidence shows that in intersensory matching tasks involving native faces and vocalizations, older infants begin to exhibit the ability to match them on the basis of higher-order amodal invariant relations such as affect (Walker-Andrews, 1986 )o r gender ( Patterson”
Intersensory Perception at Birth: Newborns Match Nonhuman Primate Faces and Voices. (2010, background): “…& Werker, 1999, 2003; Sai, 2005), only older infants (6 months of age and older) can perceive amodal gender and affect and they can do that even in the absence of temporal synchrony cues (Patterson & Werker, 2002; Walker-Andrews, Bahrick, Raglioni, & Diaz, 1991; Walker-Andrews & Gibson, 1986).”
