7. 5. Eyes on social development : Aetiology of infant gaze patterns and links to later socio-communicative abilities and autism

   Sammanfattning : Already at a very early age, infants preferentially attend to social stimuli. Although this is believed to be important for later social cognition and learning, little is known about the aetiology of infant social attention and associations to later abilities. LÄS MER
