Looking Patterns of Mentally Retarded and Nonretarded Infants in Play and Instructional Interactions.

McCollum, Jeanette A.

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v91 n5 p516-23 Mar 1987

Gaze patterns of retarded and nonretarded infants (N=16) during play and instruction with their mothers were compared at two developmental ages (5-10 and 11-16 months). Regardless of group, situation, or age, infants were overwhelmingly oriented toward the toys. Configurations of looking patterns were more consistent across ages among the nonretarded infants.
