This study revealed that 4- and 6-month-old infants produced social-communicative behaviours only in response to faces, and not in response to hands. However, infants' spontaneous responses to hands were unique in that they scanned the space above the hands, perhaps searching for a face. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
