To the surprise of many people, new research suggests that newborns prefer to look at expressive, responsive faces. It’s as if they expect people to react to social interactions by using communicative facial expressions.Psychologists have a method of testing for this understanding, and it’s called the Still Face paradigm. The procedure begins with an adult interacting in a normal way with the baby. Then the adult suddenly adopts a neutral facial expression. When Emese Nagy tried this on 90 babies less than 4 days old, she found that newborns were more likely to change their behavior, look away, and show signs of distress (Nagy 2008).
