The Development of the Uncanny Valley in Infants (2011, background): “As noted earlier, one is perceptual learning and differentiation of increasingly finer stimulus features (Gibson, 1969; Gottlieb, 1991; Nelson, 2001; Thelen & Smith, 1994; Werner, 1973) and the other is perceptual narrowing (Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Scott et al., 2007; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
The Biological Implausibility of the Nature-Nurture Dichotomy & What It Means for the Study of Infancy (2011, background): “Perceptual narrowing has been found in audition in the speech and music perception domains and in vision in the face perception domain (for reviews of this work see Lewkowicz and Ghazanfar (2009) and Scott, Pascalis, and Nelson (2007)).”
The emergence of multisensory systems through perceptual narrowing. (2009, background): “the neural level, narrowing is due to the pruning of exuberant synaptic connections [ 76 ].”
Experience-dependent neural specialization during infancy. (2010, unknown): “…process, called perceptual narrowing, is thought to shape adult expertise for faces; allowing adults to effortlessly accomplish a variety of everyday activities, including identifying and differentiating individuals, emotions, gender, race, attractiveness, age, and intentions (Scott et al., 2007).”
Perceptual learning: 12-month-olds' discrimination of monkey faces. (2012, background): “For example, Scott et al. (2007) point out that 9-month-olds continue to exhibit neural but not behavioral discrimination of monkey faces stating, ‘‘thus, perceptual narrowing may not reflect the complete erasure of neural connections, making these systems flexible and ready to be reactivated at a…”
Adolescence as a Sensitive Period of Brain Development. (2015, unknown): “Face perception undergoes perceptual narrowing, for instance, during which individuals become better at processing the category of faces they are most exposed to at the expense of categories they see less frequently, producing effects such as the own-race bias of face perception [19].”
Interactive specialization: a domain-general framework for human functional brain development? (2011, unknown): “…synaptic pruning (Kerszberg t al., 1992), hypotheses on the increasing localization of anguage areas (Neville et al., 1992), the “perceptual narowing” hypothesis (Scott et al., 2007), and proposals about he increasing restriction of functional cortical areas with evelopment (Durston et al., 2006).”
Critical periods in speech perception: new directions. (2015, methodology): “We worked with a group of mothers who had experienced depression throughout their pregnancy and had chosen either to take an antidepressant [serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI)] or to seek treatment without SRIs, and we compared the speech perception development of their infants to the infants of a…”
