Social Perception in Infancy: A Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study
Open accessAbstract
The capacity to engage and communicate in a social world is one of the defining characteristics of the human species. While the network of regions that compose the social brain have been the subject of extensive research in adults, there are limited techniques available for monitoring young infants. This study used near infrared spectroscopy to investigate functional activation in the social brain network of 36 five-month-old infants. We measured the hemodynamic responses to visually presented stimuli in the temporal lobes. A significant increase in oxyhemoglobin was localized to 2 posterior temporal sites bilaterally, indicating that these areas are involved in the social brain network in young infants.

In the citing paper
“Other methods allow brain measurement while the infants are awake (e.g. near-infrared spectroscopy, Lloyd-Fox et al., 2009) but cannot detect activity in “deep” structures, like the orbito-frontal cortex or the insula.”

In the citing paper
“This series of studies have shown that in typical developing infants, temporal lobe activation is tuned to visual and auditory social stimuli (Lloyd-Fox et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
