Summary:
Chapter four talks about the capabilities of babies, that they are able to see and hear a lot of things. Infants are drawn to faces of humans rather then patterns and colors. They are also drawn to the eyes of people because they show emotion. During mother, child communication the mother basically fills in the blanks of the conversation. Babies start to communicate with others from birth.

Fact Formulator
Infants communicate with people in their environment from birth. After 2 months, the human face has special status for infants. This interest in faces is important for infants' ability to recognize people and to discriminate a big part of communicating. Infants as young as 5 weeks old can discriminate between their mothers and strangers. Infants are sound sensitive even before birth. Very young babies can distinguish between sounds (sucking experiment). Mothers impose rules of conversation on infants, introducing infants to that specific culture.
