Rovee-Collier, Carolyn

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v78 n1 p35-49 Jan 2001

Considers reasons for infants' selective looking and information gathering. Discusses three general theoretical issues raised by studies of selective looking, related to type of information gathered, speed of processing time, and the effect of prior exposure on processing time. Considers these issues in relation to Needham's study of infant perception. (JPB)
