The Role of Good Form in Young Infants' Perception of Partly Occluded Objects.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Johnson, Scott P.; Bremner, J. Gavin; Slater, Alan M.; Mason, Uschi C. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2000
Three experiments investigated whether 4-month-olds would attend to and utilize the global configuration ("good form") of a partly occluded, moving object to perceive its unit and coherence behind the occluder.

A Comparison of Monocular and Binocular Depth Perception in 5- and 7-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Granrud, Carl E.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984

Reaching preferences (dependent measure) observed in the monocular condition indicated sensitivity to monocular depth information. Binocular viewing resulted in a far more consistent tendency to reach for the nearer object. (Author)
