Fine Orientation Discrimination and Shape Constancy in Young Infants.

Bornstein, Marc H.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v41 n1 p49-60 Feb 1986

Two variants of the habituation paradigm were used to investigate fine orientation discrimination and shape constancy in 34 young infants. Results demonstrate that conditions determine whether young infants show sensitivity to relatively fine variations in pattern orientation or give evidence of shape constancy with the same patterns.
