Cross-modal Transfer in Human Infants

Gottfried, Allen W.; And Others

Child Development, 48, 1, 118-123, Mar 77

This study investigated infants' differential responding to novel and familiar stimuli after familiarization in a different sensory modality. Results showed that infants gain information about the shape of objects from their oral experience with them and that this information can be transferred to the visual modality. (Author/JMB)
