| Research Abstract |
This study examined infants' ability to perceive artificially produced three-dimensional object. In order to control shapes of three-dimensional objects, we created three-dimensional face and non-face objects (shoes) that contained no texture. First, behavioral study investigated infants' ability to learn the faces and non-face objects. Results were compared between categories and those showed the infants' ability to learn faces differs from their ability to learn non-face objects. Next, behavioral and brain activity measurement studies investigated effect of eye gaze direction of the faces. Results showed that infants could learn three-dimensional face by 8 months of age only in direct gaze. This suggested that gaze direction may affect three-dimensional face learning in infants.
