Discusses how Adolph's research is relevant to four themes that are foundational to contemporary research on the development of perception and action: (1) reciprocity between perception and action; (2) prospective control of behavior; (3) variation and selection in the development of new behaviors; and (4) contributions of age and experience.…

Peer reviewedLockman, Jeffrey J. – Child Development, 2000
Maintains that advances in the literature on perception-action development suggests that tool use may be a more continuous developmental achievement than previously believed. Suggests new research directions, including efforts to investigate the processes by which children detect and relate affordances between objects, coordinate spatial frames of…

Peer reviewedReznick, J. Steven; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Betts, Stephanie – Child Development, 2000
Two experiments used Visual Expectations Procedure to investigate development of expectations in infants up to 12 months old. Reaction time improved and the percentage of anticipations increased between 6 and 9 months using an alternation pattern or a complex pivot pattern, and between 4 and 8 months when using a left-right alternation or a…

Function of attention in infants is explored. Assuming (1) that infants respond differently to novel situations than to familiar ones; (2) that the infant's pattern of response is a partial reflection of the process of acquiring a perceptual memory of the stimulus, and (3) that sex differences may occur in the rate of habituation, 120 infants…
