Abstract: The faces of other people are a critical information source for young children.During early development, children undergo significant postural and locomotor development, changing from lying and sitting infants to toddlers who walk independently.We used a head-mounted camera in conjunction with a face-detection system to explore the effects of these changes on children's visual access to their caregivers' faces during an in-lab play session.In a cross-sectional sample of 4-20 month old children, we found substantial changes in face accessibility based on age and posture.These changes may translate into changes in the accessibility of social information during language learning.
