Abstract(in English) To investigate the mechanisms of infants' intermodal equivalences between visually and proprioceptively percieved body transformation, visual fixation, imitation of tongue protrusions and smiles in 32 premature infants born at 24-36 weeks of gestational age and experimented at 33-44 weeks of corrected gestational age and in 18 full-term neonates were recorded during presentaions of dynamic tongue protrusions in realistic (the schematic face, the eyes and mouth pattern) and nonrealistic (the scrambled face, the perimeter pattern) face patterns, after presentations of each static tongue protruded posture. Results showed that most prematures looked at and imitated more the schematic face, the scrambled face and the eyes-mouth pattern than the perimeter pattern. This suggested that intermodal learning emerged during extra-uterine expriences, although realistic face preference revealed in full-term neonates and the youngest prematures of corrected age in the group of same gestational age.
