Babies are born with an eye for beauty. Infants only hours old will choose to stare at an attractive face rather than an unattractive one.
According to Alan Slater, a developmental psychologist at the University of Exeter, humans may have a biologically ingrained preference for beauty. He will tell the British Association Science Festival, which opens in Exeter, that he presented a photographic choice to almost 100 newborns, on average only 2.5 days old.
The two sets of faces were composites created by computers from a number of volunteers’ faces. They followed the now widely observed psychological consensus that faces with features that are close to the human average in size and shape are generally perceived to be attractive.
It has been noted in the past that, shown two faces, babies a few months old will spend more time looking at the attractive face; and it has also been suggested that humans build up their concept of attractiveness based on an "average" of all the faces they see.
"But we get exactly the same effect with newborn infants," said Dr. Slater, "which is to say that newborn infants will look at the more attractive of two faces."
His subject were held upright, looking at photographs or other imagery, while being watched by psychologists.
"Visual acuity, the ability to detect fine detail, is not perfect, but it is not too bad and the baby begins making sense of the visual world fight from the word go. And you get a number of visual preferences," Dr. Slater said.
"You can show pair after pair of faces where they are matched for everything apart from attractiveness, and the infants will look at the more attractive of the two faces--leading to the conclusion that babies are born with a fairly detailed representation of the human face that allows them to detect and recognize faces."
Babies normally reared were always enormously attracted to their mothers, however, whether the mothers were counted as attractive or not.
Dr. Slater’s research will support the statement that man’s sense of beauty ______.
