AbstractInfants' impressive achievements in processing objects and faces during the 1st year of life lead to questions about the factors driving that development. In this article, I review and discuss how infants' experiences that are related to their emerging motor skills and their development of face expertise lead to such crucial developmental agents. During the 1st year of life, infants' visual processing of objects is primarily associated with their object exploration and crawling experiences. Infants' development of face processing is influenced by their increasing experience with face categories that they encounter most frequently. A link also exists between infants' processing of faces, on one hand, and their exploration of objects and their experience with sitting, on the other. Thus, experiences that result from acquiring motor skills seem to facilitate infants' visual processing across domains.
