Webinar: I spy faces and categories!
In many cases, human faces are the most important source of information for infants and children when learning about their social world. As a result of this importance, face processing expertise develops quickly in the first year of life. This talk will illustrate Dr. Charisse Pickron’s approach to investigating the way infants, toddlers, and children group faces together as well as start to make assumptions or associations about individual people who vary by familiarity. If you're an early childhood educator, parent, or anyone who is interested in early childhood development, this program is for you.
