Haptic Perception of Objects in Infancy.

Streri, Arlette; Spelke, Elizabeth S.

Cognitive Psychology, v20 n1 p1-23 Jan 1988

Four experiments studied the perception of the unity and boundaries of objects by 88 4-month-old infants who manipulated them out of the visual field. Infants perceived the unity/boundaries of these objects by detecting the motion patterns they themselves produced. Discrimination between motion patterns transferred from touch to vision. (SLD)
