Peer reviewedMalcuit, Gerard; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1996
Examined the effect of functional values of stimuli on orienting response elicitation. Subjects were 50 4-month-old infants and were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 experimental conditions. Results suggested the importance of taking into account the functional value of stimuli when analyzing infant attention. (MOK)
