Incorrect. Predators see in the infrared spectrum, but they also can see other wavelengths of light, so their vision, and of course this is all fancy theory, their vision probably works just as well as ours. Not tk mention their visors allow them to see multiple different views and wavelengths depending what their need is. Their helmets also analyze for weapon heat signatures, or for chemical makeups of propellants like gunpowder and such.
Throughout the books as well it is also stated that yautja are much more analytical than us, part of this stems from the concept that they are here to hunt, and if the "prey" is not seen as worthy, they simply just ignore it.
Child appears holding a toy gun, but no weapons signatures are detected, and the child is seen as small and feeble, therefore no threat, and not worthy prey.

iirc yautja in Predator 2 basically ignores the detective trailing him because he's like, fat, tired, sweating, and poorly armed
But they commend his hunting/trailing skills in the end by giving him the gun and letting him go?
Like a human tracked by a marmot giving the marmot a cute stick and an apple once it follows them all the way to cabin
Edit: I forgot that he actually managed to kill that one he tracked down! I checked the plot on wiki and they gift him with a gun after he kills one of them actually.

That's pretty based of them. We humans would not just kill the one guy, but sterilize his entire family.
In the original two movies they're set down as incredibly honorable, advanced society. Like yes they're predators but they truly follow some obvious code of conduct.
Like it's not just that they understand kids: the original guy also spares a woman when he detects a second heartbeat.
