Infants' Perception of Object Trajectories.

Child Development, v74 n1 p94-108 Jan-Feb 2003
Three experiments investigated 2- to 6-month-olds' perception of the continuity of an object trajectory that was briefly occluded. Results across experiments provided little evidence of veridical responses to trajectory occlusion in the youngest infants, but by 6 months, perception completion was more robust. Results suggest that perceptual completion of simple object trajectory is not functional at birth but emerges across the first several months after onset of visual experience. (Author/KB)
