Complexity Levels, Habituation, and Individual Differences in Early Infancy

Greenberg, David J.; And Others

Child Development, 44, 3, 569-574, Sep 73

To demonstrate a relationship between rate of habituation and complexity levels, 11-week-old infants (N=51) were each given a rate-of-habituation and complexity-level test. Rapid habituators looked longer at complex patterns. Irregular habituators responded randomly to tests or resembled slow habituators in terms of complexity preferred. (ST)
