Infant Visual Responses to Pattern: Which Metric Predicts Best?

Pipp, Sandra; Haith, Marshall M.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v38 n3 p373-99 Dec 1984

Visual fixations were recorded in newborn, 4-, and 8-week-old human infants as they scanned displays that varied in contour length, size, number, and a new metric, CVAL (based on Contour Variability, Amount and Location). One of the findings was that both contour length and CVAL separately accounted for approximatel1 95 of looking-duration variance. (Author/AS)
