the sounds of any given language. This ability to diversify decreases as the infant develops in their particular culture. They essentially rid themselves of unnecessary sounds and abilities that are
not required in their particular culture. In Is face processing species-specific during the first year of life?" by Pascalis et al. the author attempt to discover if the same is
true as it concerns recognizing human faces as opposed to primate faces. The following paper critiques this particular research essay. Face Processing Species: Critique As mentioned in the introduction,
the ability to be able to recognize and duplicate any particular language sounds is something infants are born with, but also something that infants grow to refine. The authors of
this research seem to be attempting to discover if there is a particular time, and specific progression, to an infants development in more areas. This study is specifically trying to
uncover whether infants, as they grow, lose the ability to differentiate between primate faces as well as they do with human faces. Adults are unable to differentiate between primate faces
to the same degree that they can differentiate between human faces and the authors are examining if is something that occurs in infancy, the ability to recognize equally perhaps.
The authors used adults, 9 month old infants, and 6 month old infants for the research, assuming the 6 month old infants would have more of an ability to see
differences in human faces as well as primate faces. One clear question most people would have is that which relates to being able to test an infants recognition level in
testing. With adults they can be asked questions, but infants have no ability to understand what they are being told and how to answer any questions. As such the authors
