Peer reviewedDannemiller, James L.; Banks, Martin S. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1986
Replies to argument presenting evidence against a model of habituation during early infancy which was based on the selective adaptation of feature detectors. (Author/BB)

Peer reviewedBornstein, Marc H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Two variants of the habituation paradigm were used to investigate fine orientation discrimination and shape constancy in 34 young infants. Results demonstrate that conditions determine whether young infants show sensitivity to relatively fine variations in pattern orientation or give evidence of shape constancy with the same patterns.

Peer reviewedKaufmann-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)

Peer reviewedAckles, Patrick K.; Karrer, Rathe – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1991
Rejects the neuronal fatigue, or selective adaptation, hypothesis of young infant habituation. Holds that studies cited by Dannemiller and Banks do not support the inferences of selective adaptation. Rejects the hypothetical neurophysiological mechanism of neuronal fatigue. Proposes that studies do not indicate that young infants' visual cortical…
