Red to Green or Fast to Slow? Infants' Visual Working Memory for "Just Salient Differences"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kaldy, Zsuzsa; Blaser, Erik – Child Development, 2013
In this study, 6-month-old infants' visual working memory for a static feature (color) and a dynamic feature (rotational motion) was compared. Comparing infants' use of different features can only be done properly if experimental manipulations to those features are equally salient (Kaldy & Blaser, 2009; Kaldy, Blaser, & Leslie,…

Infant Behavior and Development in Relation to Fetal Movement and Habituation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Madison, Lynda S.; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Evaluated the relation between fetal activity and postnatal behavior and development by measuring the amount of fetal movement occurring in response to stimulation and the number of stimulus applications necessary for habituation. Preliminary evidence suggests that fetal rate of habituation predicts some aspects of infant behavior and development…

How Meaning Modifies Drawing Behavior in Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vinter, Annie – Child Development, 1999
Solicited 6- to 10-year olds' and adults' perceptually ambiguous drawings to which two different meanings could be attributed. Analyzed movement sequences to determine whether movements were modified in ways determined by the model's meaning. Found that drawing was sensitive to meaning at all ages. Sensitivity differed as a function of the model…

Infants Parse Dynamic Action.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baldwin, Dare A.; Baird, Jodie A.; Saylor, Megan M.; Clark, M. Angela – Child Development, 2001
Two studies investigated whether 10- to 11-month-olds possess skills for parsing ongoing behavior along boundaries correlated with initiation and completion of intentions. Found that infants showed renewed interest in test videos in which motion paused in the midst of an actor's pursuit of intentions; suspended motion at intentional boundary…

Spontaneous Leg Movements of Infants with Down Syndrome and Nondisabled Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ulrich, Beverly D.; Ulrich, Dale A. – Child Development, 1995
Compared the spontaneous leg movements of 10 infants with Down Syndrome to those of nondisabled infants matched for chronological age and motor age. Contrary to expectations, no significant difference was found in the frequency of leg movements between the two groups. However, Down Syndrome subjects demonstrated significantly fewer of the most…

Attention and Memory for Faces and Actions in Infancy: The Salience of Actions over Faces in Dynamic Events.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E.; Gogate, Lakshmi J.; Ruiz, Ivonne – Child Development, 2002
Three experiments investigated discrimination and memory of 5.5-month-olds for videotapes of women performing different activities (blowing bubbles, brushing hair, brushing teeth) or static displays after a 1-minute and a 7-week delay. Findings demonstrate the attentional salience of actions over faces in dynamic events to 5.5-month-olds. Findings…
