@article{oai:osaka-shoin.repo.nii.ac.jp:00002899, journal = {大阪樟蔭女子大学人間科学研究紀要}, month = {Jan}, note = {P(論文), This paper presents the preliminary findings of an investigation of the still-face effect in Japanese 5-month-old infants in the context of peek-a-boo play. In order to examine the contribution of contingent facial information in the still-face effect, the mothers' eyes of mouth were hidden from the infants during the still-face experiments. The preliminary results suggest that when information related to the mother's eyes was not available to the infant, both the infant's gaze and smile towards their mother decreased, whereas when the information related to the mother's mouth was not available to the infant, then the infant's gaze but not smile decreased during the still-face period. The importance of the eyes and mouth in producing the still-face effect is dependant on the infant's response measures.}, pages = {55--62}, title = {An Investigation of the Still-Face Effect in the Context of Peek-a-Boo Play}, volume = {6}, year = {2007} }
