18- and 24-month-olds' ability to discriminate gender-stereotyped activities was assessed. Using a preferential looking paradigm, toddlers viewed male and female actors performing masculine and feminine-stereotyped activities.

Results are discussed in terms of toddlers emerging gender stereotypes and perception of everyday events.
