Method of Observation If infants consistently prefer to look at one image over
another, they must be able to perceptually discriminate the two images.
Is one image more appealing to an infant than another?
How will they respond to the different test stimuli and why will they respond that way?

Conclusion By 2 months, infants look and respond more intently to a human face.
3 month olds look more closely at facial features, such as the mouth, eyes, and nose.
As babies get older, they prefer faces with features, than blank faces.
Babies prefer looking at black and white when paired together versus solid colors by themselves.
