Infants' Tactual Discrimination of Novel and Familiar Tactual Stimuli.

Soroka, Sherri MacKay; And Others

Child Development, v50 n4 p1251-53 Dec 1979

Forty 10-month-old infants were given two minutes to explore tactually an object in a totally darkened room. Subsequently, during a two-minute test trial in the dark, 10 infants were given the same object and 10 were given a novel shape. Novel shapes were manipulated significantly longer than familiar forms. (RH)
