Peer reviewedChromiak, Walter; Weisberg, Robert W. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Adults' ability to track a moving target was examined in two experiments in order to compare their performance with that of very young infants. Results indicated that (1) adults'"overshoot" errors resembled those reported for young infants; and (2) adults had problems tracking a moving target which unexpectedly changed direction. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedJohnson, Mark H.; Tucker, Leslie A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1996
Discusses changes occurring in two-, four-, and six-month-old infants' visual attention span, through a series of experiments examining their ability to orient to peripheral visual stimuli. The results obtained were consistent with the hypothesis that infants get faster with age in shifting attention to a spatial location. (AA)
