They have integrated findings from ethology, neuroscience, and experimental studies of human infants into a bold account of the early development of face perception. The implications of this landmark work go way beyond the story of the origins of face perception, \u003ci\u003eper se\u003c\/i\u003e.

While some research has indicated that newborn infants possess information about the general characteristics of faces, teh majority of studies indicate that infants may take several months before they respond selectively to faces. Mark Johnson and John Marton examine the results of their own replication and extension of both sets of findings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiology and Cognitive Development\u003c\/i\u003e offers an important new theory of the development of face recognition and what it can tell us about the interaction between nature and nurture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Why bring Biology into Cognitive Development? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Development of Face Recognition 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Bringing in Biology 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Conspec, Conlern and the Development of Face Recognition 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Conspec and Conlern in the Human Infant 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Biology, Cognition and Faces 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 148\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 175\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316771680536,"sku":"9780631174547","price":29.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631174547.jpg?v=1781824361","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/biology-and-cognitive-development-the-case-of-face-recognition-paperback-softback-9780631174547","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
