Babies may “look for faces as soon as they are born” – or even in the womb (17 June, p 12). But we should be wary of over-interpreting this: looking does not necessarily imply recognition.
Others argue that newborn babies don't necessarily have a predisposition to look at faces: it may be that they simply attend to moderately complex, high-contrast visual stimuli.
