Scientists have discovered that three-month-old infants are sensitive to emotional signals that refer to objects in the world. It was once thought that young infants could only process social signals that were directed at them. However, in a new study published in PLoS ONE, researchers show that three-month-olds go beyond face-to-face social interactions: they even use social cues to process objects in the world around them.
