Tactual Habituation and Discrimination of Form in Infancy: A Comparison with Vision.

Peer reviewed

Streri, Arlette; Pecheaux, Marie-Germaine – Child Development, 1986

Investigates whether tactual habituation without the assistance of vision occurs in four- to six-month-old infants. Additionally tests the relevance of a habituation/reaction to novelty procedure in the tactual modality. Results show clearly that tactual habituation occurs in such infants, just as visual habituation does. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewed

Kaufmann-Hayoz, Ruth; And Others – Child Development, 1986

Examines 3-month-old infants' perception of "camouflaged" forms that were only visible when moving. Shows infants effectively use kinetic information to organize visual input in higher-order structures. (HOD)
