Infants' Perception of the Audible, Visible, and Bimodal Attributes of Multimodal Syllables.

Lewkowicz, David J.

Child Development, v71 n5 p1241-57 Sep-Oct 2000

Three experiments investigated 4-, 6-, and 8-month-olds' perception of the audible, visible, and combined attributes of bimodally specified syllables. Results suggested that at 4 months, infants attended primarily to the featural information, at 6 months primarily to the asynchrony, and at 8 months to both features independently. (Author/KB)
