Recognition of Neonates by Facial-Visual Characteristics
Abstract
A series of experiments investigated the salience of newborn infants' facial-visual features for recognition and sex identification. Within 33 hours post-partum, mothers recognized photographs of their own offspring when presented with those of unrelated neonates. Furthermore, adult subjects were able to match photographs of unfamiliar mothers and their infants, and determine the sex of neonates, at a greater than chance level of accuracy. Although recognizable facial features are presumably genetically determined, maternal recognition of offspring probably results from brief exposure and familiarization as well as physical resemblance between the infant and other familiar family members, including the mother herself.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Adult participants were able to categorise the sex of neonates at levels above chance.
“adult participants were able to categorise the sex of neonates (Kaminski et al., 2011; Porter, Cernoch & Balogh, 1984; Round & Deheragoda, 2002) and 1–24 month old infants (Tskhay & Rule, 2016) at levels above chance”

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.
