The authors offer a new theoretical outline that emphasizes the importance of nontarget…

Visual fixations were recorded in newborn, 4-, and 8-week-old human infants as they scanned displays that varied in contour length, size, number, and a new metric, CVAL (based on Contour Variability, Amount and Location). One of the findings was that both contour length and CVAL separately accounted for approximatel1 95 of looking-duration…

Discusses possible implications of the study and recommends further combination of quantitative and…
