A developmental psychologist is interested in the visual abilities of newborn children. Baby Katherine is participating in a study on the visual abilities of newborns. Her mother is holding her while a psychologist shows Katherine a variety of images. Which one will Katherine look at the longest?
a zebra
a hammer
a human face
a box of matches
Katherine will look at a human face longest because the human face is something she has seen before the study e.g her mother's face. It is what the baby is familiar with.
