Freier, Livia; Mason, Luke; Bremner, Andrew J. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
An ability to perceive tactile and visual stimuli in a common spatial frame of reference is a crucial ingredient in forming a representation of one's own body and the interface between bodily and external space. In this study, the authors investigated young infants' abilities to perceive colocation between tactile and visual stimuli presented on…

Johnson, Scott P.; Aslin, Richard N. – Developmental Psychology, 1995
Examined perception of object unity in partial occlusion in 72 infants. Recorded how long subjects looked at a display of complete and incomplete rods. In test and control conditions, infants looked longer at broken rods than at complete rods, suggesting that infants' cognitive, visual, or attentional skills may be insufficient to support…

Landau, Barbara; Spelke, Elizabeth – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Four experiments investigated the role of geometric path type in infants' ability to make spatial inferences about the location of a hidden object after the infants had been moved. In all but the fourth experiment, infants were able to retrieve the objects unless objects were located behind the infants. (SKC)

Baillargeon, Renee; Graber, Marcia – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Examined eight-month-olds' ability to remember the location of a hidden object, using a nonsearch task. Results suggested that the infants remembered the object's location, and were surprised when it had been moved. (SKC)

Stiles-Davis, Joan – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Used a set of six measures to analyze both the products and process of spatial grouping in 40 children between the ages of 18 and 42 months. Results confirmed and elaborated on previously established developmental findings for each measure. (SKC)

Bartsch, Karen; Wellman, Henry M. – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Investigated preschoolers' understanding of two distance principles: the direct-indirect and the same-plus principle. Children did better on tasks relevant to the principles than on principle-irrelevant tasks. Concluded that even young children conceive of distance as fixed intervals. (SKC)

Robin, Daniel J.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1996
Thirteen infants were presented with a moving object under two lighting conditions to investigate the role of vision in early reaching. Infants were tested twice, at 5 and 7.5 months of age. The results suggest that proprioceptive feedback and sight of the target allowed for successful reaching with limited visual information, even in relatively…
