Abstract:
The developmental trajectory of holistic processing in preschoolers remains controversial. Clarifying this trajectory is crucial to understand the mechanisms underlying facial recognition. This study recruited approximately 150 preschoolers and employed a complete composite paradigm to investigate the developmental trajectory in preschool children. Findings from two experiments revealed that holistic face processing is stably established in Chinese children as young as 3.5-years old both in simultaneous (Experiment 1) and sequential matching tasks (Experiment 2). Furthermore, holistic processing characterized by the composite effect in preschoolers was similar to that in adults. These findings provide valuable insights into the early development of face-processing abilities and highlight the robustness of holistic processing in young children.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
