Children's altruistic behavior in context: The role of emotional responsiveness and culture
TL;DR: Examining the relation between emotional responsiveness and altruistic behavior in 4 to 5-year-old children in India and Germany revealed that increased altruisticbehavior was associated with a greater responsiveness to fear faces (faster fixation), but not happy faces, in both cultures, suggesting that altruism is linked to the authors' responsiveness to others in distress across cultures.
The role of left inferior frontal cortex during audiovisual speech perception in infants.
TL;DR: Investigating 6-month-old infants' processing of audiovisual speech that contained matching or mismatching auditory and visual speech cues suggested that left inferior frontal regions play a crucial role in associating information from different modalities during native language attunement, fostering the formation of multimodal phonological categories.
Audiovisual speech perception in infancy: The influence of vowel identity and infants' productive abilities on sensitivity to (mis)matches between auditory and visual speech cues.
TL;DR: Test results suggest that infants' ability to match native auditory and visual cues continues to develop during the first year of life, and indicate a relation between infants' early sensitivity to audiovisual speech cues and their later language development.
Insights into the uniquely human origins of understanding other minds
TL;DR: The authors summarize research and theory to show that, from early in human ontogeny, much information about other minds can be gleaned from reading the eyes of other humans, and they further extend the target article by drawing attention to what might be considered the neurodevelopmental origins of knowledge attribution.

TL;DR: The results revealed that infants with the genotype previously associated with decreased availability of oxytocin and an increased rate of autism were most affected by extended durations of exclusive breastfeeding, suggesting that breastfeeding experience enhances prosocial tendencies in infants that are genetically at risk for autism.
