Direct linkBremner, J. Gavin; Slater, Alan M.; Johnson, Scott P.; Mason, Uschi C.; Spring, Jo; Bremner, Maggie E. – Child Development, 2011
From birth, infants detect associations between the locations of static visual objects and sounds they emit, but there is limited evidence regarding their sensitivity to the dynamic equivalent when a sound-emitting object moves. In 4 experiments involving thirty-six 2-month-olds, forty-eight 5-month-olds, and forty-eight 8-month-olds, we…

Leo, Irene; Simion, Francesca – Developmental Science, 2009
The present study was aimed at exploring newborns' ability to recognize configural changes within real face images by testing newborns' sensitivity to the Thatcher illusion. Using the habituation procedure, newborns' ability to discriminate between an unaltered face image and the same face with the eyes and the mouth 180 degrees rotated (i.e.…

de Wit, Tessa C. J.; Vrins, Sven; Dejonckheere, Peter J. N.; van Lier, Rob – Infancy, 2008
Two habituation experiments were conducted to investigate how 4-month-old infants perceive partly occluded shapes. In the first experiment, we presented a simple, partly occluded shape to the infants until habituation was reached. Then we showed either a probable completion (one that would be predicted on the basis of both local and global cues)…

Valenza, Eloisa; Zulian, Luisa; Leo, Irene – Infancy, 2005
This study explored whether the reported inability of newborns to perceive object unity could result from the limited abilities of newborns to recognize the correspondence between 2 stimuli that were identical except for the presence or absence of an occluder. Five experiments were carried out using a visual habituation technique. The results of…

Duffy, Sean; Huttenlocher, Janellen; Levine, Susan; Duffy, Renee – Infancy, 2005
This study explores how infants encode an object's spatial extent. We habituated 6.5-month-old infants to a dowel inside a container and then tested whether they dishabituate to a change in absolute size when the relation between dowel and container is held constant (by altering the size of both container and dowel) and when the relation changes…

Object Recognition and Attention to Object Components by Preschool Children and 4-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewedHaaf, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
This study investigated attention to and recognition of components in compound stimuli among infants and preschoolers. Oddity tasks with preschoolers and familiarization/novelty-preference tasks with infants demonstrated successful discrimination among stimuli components on basis of edge property information. Matching tasks with preschoolers and…
