Stimulus Variables Which Affect the Concordance of Visual and Manipulative Exploration in Six-Month-Old Infants

Steele, Donna; Pederson, David R.

Child Development, 48, 1, 104-111, Mar 77

In two experiments, forty 26-week-old infants were repeatedly exposed to an object and were then shown an object that was different from the original object in color, shape and/or texture. Results showed that looking and manipulation increased for the novel shape and texture objects and looking increased for the novel color object. (Author/JMB)
