Two-year-olds' search strategies and visual tracking in a hidden displacement task
Children younger than 3 years have difficulty with search tasks that involve hidden displacement. Partial visual information was provided about a ball's path as it moved toward a hiding place. Children (2.0 and 2.5 years old) saw a ball rolling down a ramp placed behind a transparent screen with 4 opaque doors. A wall, placed on the ramp and directly behind 1 of the doors, protruded above the screen and stopped the ball. Children were asked to fi…
Using Object Knowledge in Visual Tracking and Reaching
Nine‐month‐old infants were presented with an engaging and challenging task of visually tracking and reaching for a rolling ball that disappeared and reappeared from behind an occluder. On some trials, the infant observed the experimenter place a barrier on the ball's track; the barrier remained partially visible above the occluder throughout the remainder of the trial. When the task involved only predictive tracking, infants' anticipatory gaze s…
The Beginnings of Tool Use by Infants and Toddlers
Children (aged 9, 14, 19, and 24 months) were encouraged to use tools to achieve a demonstrated goal. Each tool was most efficiently applied when held by the handle with the thumb toward the head of the tool in a radial grip. The tools were presented at midline and oriented to the left and right on alternating trials, so the children who managed to grasp a tool in both orientations with the radial grip demonstrated planning of actions in advance.…
Lessons From Infants
Our image of the infant as an organism interacting with the environment has changed dramatically in the past 40 years. A new surge of infancy research began in the 1960s and continues unabated today. The view of the infant has been transformed from that of a primarily reflexive organism to a highly competent being, exquisitely sensitive to sensory and perceptual information. Controversy still swirls around the issue of when infants acquire specif…
Where's the ball? Two- and three-year-olds reason about unseen events
Children 2, 2 1/2, and 3 years of age engaged in a search task in which they opened 1 of 4 doors in an occluder to retrieve a ball that had been rolled behind the occluder. The correct door was determined by a partially visible wall placed behind the occluder that stopped the motion of the unseen ball. Only the oldest group of children was able to reliably choose the correct door. All children were able to retrieve a toy that had been hidden in t…
Problem solving in infancy
Young children's strategies were evaluated as they grasped and used objects. Spoons containing food and toys mounted on handles were presented to 9-, 14-, and 19-month-old children with the handle alternately oriented to the left and right. The alternating orientations revealed strategies that the children used for grasping items. Younger children usually reached with their preferred hand, disregarding the item's orientation. In the case of the s…
Object and event representation in 61⁄2-month-old infants
Two experiments were conducted in which infants had to use remembered knowledge of auditory-visual events to guide their reaching and grasping. The events involved a ball falling noisily through a tube and coming to rest at 1 of 2 locations, with either resting site specified by distinctive auditory information. The events were presented initially in the light and then in the dark to determine whether infants would remember and use the auditory c…
Infants' predictive reaching for moving objects in the dark
Infants were presented with a moving object under 2 lighting conditions to investigate the role of vision in early reaching. The motion of the target object also allowed for an analysis of the infants' ability to use a predictive style of reaching. Infants were tested twice, at 5 and 7.5 months ofage, with a moving object in the light and the same object painted with luminescent paint in the dark. Infants successfully contacted the glowing object…
Newborn infants' memory for speech sounds retained over 24 hours
Newborn infants were exposed to speech sounds in 2 sessions separated by 24 hr. Their habituation and recovery to these sounds were assessed by spontaneous head orienting toward the sound's location. Thirty-six neonates were assigned to 1 of 3 groups: a no-change group that heard the same word both days; a change group that heard a different word each day; and a Day 2 age-control group that heard 1 of the 2 words for the 1st time on Day 2. Both g…
Infants' perception of auditory space
Infants between 26 and 32 weeks of age were presented with sounding objects in the dark at four locations, 30 o left and right, within reaching distance (15 cm) and out of reach (60 cm) at the same orientation. Infants' ability to localize the sound was assessed by measuring reaches of either hand into the space occupied by the objects when within reach
