Generalization of Learning in Three-and-a-Half-Month-Old Infants on the Basis of Amodal Relations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Child Development, 2002
Investigated the extent to which 3.5-month-old infants trained in amodal auditory-visual relations between falling objects and the sounds they made could generalize their intermodal knowledge to a new task and across events. Found that infants tested with familiar events and with events of a new color or shape showed learning and transfer…

You Go This Way and I'll Go That Way: Developmental Changes in Infants' Detection of Correlations among Static and Dynamic Features in Motion Events.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rakison, David H.; Poulin-Dubois, Diane – Child Development, 2002
Four studies examined 10- to 18-month-old infants' ability to detect and encode correlations among features in a motion event. Findings indicated that the youngest infants process static features in an event independently but do not process correlations among dynamic features; the oldest detect correlations between all three features when the…
