Abstract(in English) I studied infants' face perception. I examined that 6-month-old infants can judge gender of the face only by the internal features of the face. I used habituration-dishabituation paradigm in experiment. Experimental procedure was as follows. Subjects saw the average female (or the average male) face 5 times. After that, subjects saw two different faces that were same physical distance from the first face. One face was the same sex as the first face and the other was different. I measured the looking time of these two test faces. the comparison of the looking time between these two test faces showed that the looking time of the different sex face were longer than that of the same sex face. From this result, I conclude that 6-month-old infants can judge the gender of the face only by the internal features.
