Research by psychologists from China and the University of Toronto in Canada showed the baby to lose face funny at the age of 4 years 6 months. The facts obtained three psychologists, Lu Zhu Luo, Hong Li, and Kang Lee, after receiving input from 60 adult volunteers.
They give lots of sample photos of baby's face, starting from birth to children aged 6 years and 6 months, the volunteers to be assessed. Assessment is based on two things: how much interest in volunteering to face in the photograph and how attractive faces.
Answers were used to estimate at what age infants lose their adorable faces. "The adult rate of the younger children preferred and attractive," said Kang Lee of the Institute of Child Study, University of Toronto, to ScienceDirect. "After 4 years 6 months old, that assessment is not valid."According to him, cute baby face caused by the skull bones are still in the growth stage. During this period, the structure of a baby's face showed a rounded face, large eyes and large head, while the nose and small lips. During the growth stage, the face of an adorable child slowly disappeared after he entered the age of 4 years 6 months.
It had something to do with human survival strategies as a species. Humans tend to be attracted to such features as a round face, large eyes and small noses and mouths, and consider it adorable. Features that make a man feel soft and protective, thus increasing the chances of the baby to survive. *** [TIME | ANTON WILLIAM | KORAN TEMPO 3842]
