Relationship between Visual and Tactual Exploration by 6-Month-Olds.

Bushnell, Emily W.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v21 n4 p591-600 Jul 1985

Investigating relationship between infants' visual and tactual exploration, looking and touching responses of 6-month-olds to objects only visually or tactually novel were observed. Results indicated infants were capable of tactual recognition memory, that temperature was salient object property, and that visual and tactual exploration are not independent perceptual activities.
