Toddlers' intermodal and verbal knowledge about gender.

Abstract

Toddlers' intermodal and verbal knowledge about gender was examined in two experiments. In the first, 18-month-olds were presented with photos of adult male and female faces paired with a female or male voice, or with the labels lady and man. Children spent more time looking at the pictures matching the voices than at the same pictures paired with mismatching voices. However, only girls could match the gender labels to the appropriate faces. In Experiment 2, child pictures and labels (boy and girl) replaced the adult stimuli. Unexpectedly, 18and 24-month-old children failed to match the faces and voices of children. However, boy was under stood by the age of 18 months. These results suggest that toddlers' knowledge about gender labels has been underestimated.
