Direct linkDi Giorgio, Elisa; Turati, Chiara; Altoe, Gianmarco; Simion, Francesca – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
The ability to detect and prefer a face when embedded in complex visual displays was investigated in 3- and 6-month-old infants, as well as in adults, through a modified version of the visual search paradigm and the recording of eye movements. Participants "(N" = 43) were shown 32 visual displays that comprised a target face among 3 or 5…

Mather, Emily; Plunkett, Kim – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
What is the source of the "mutual exclusivity" bias whereby infants map novel labels onto novel objects? In an intermodal preferential looking task, we found that novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to a novel object over a familiar object. In contrast, familiar labels and a neutral phrase gradually reduced attention to a novel object.…

Harris, Irina M.; Benito, Claire T.; Dux, Paul E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
We investigated distractor processing in a dual-target rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task containing familiar objects, by measuring repetition priming from a priming distractor (PD) to Target 2 (T2). Priming from a visually identical PD was contrasted with priming from a PD in a different orientation from T2. We also tested the effect of…

Wu, Rachel; Kirkham, Natasha Z. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
Human infants develop a variety of attentional mechanisms that allow them to extract relevant information from a cluttered multimodal world. We know that both social and nonsocial cues shift infants' attention, but not how these cues differentially affect learning of multimodal events. Experiment 1 used social cues to direct 8- and 4-month-olds'…

Differential fixation to novel stimuli was obtained from 4-month-old infants to test the discrepancy hypothesis, which predicts a curvilinear relationship between degree of discrepancy and attention. (ST)

Shaddy, D. Jill; Colombo, John – Infancy, 2004
This study examined 4- and 6-month-olds' responses to static or dynamic stimuli using behavioral and heart-rate-defined measures of attention. Infants looked longest to dynamic stimuli with an audio track and least to a static stimulus that was mute. Overall, look duration declined with age to the different stimuli. The amount of time spent in…
