Face Recognition in Preschool-Aged Children

The current literature on children’s recognition of faces typically uses static faces as opposed to dynamic, moving faces (e.g., Brace, Hole, Kemp, Pike, Van Duuren, & Norgate, 2001; Freire & Lee, 2001). The present study explored whether 3to 4-year-old children could differentiate between two faces when presented in a dynamic, unimodal (visual) display. Twenty-five preschoolers were familiarized to a series of female faces silently speaking a nursery rhyme. Test trials were pairs of novel and familiar faces in a forced-choice format. Results suggest significant improvement between the ages of three and four years in the ability to recognize moving faces, both in accuracy and reaction time.
