Chronometric studies of numerical cognition in five-month-old infants.
Developmental research suggests that some of the mechanisms that underlie numerical cognition are present and functional in human infancy. To investigate these mechanisms and their developmental course, psychologists have turned to behavioral and electrophysiological methods using briefly presented displays. These methods, however, depend on the assumption that young infants can extract numeric...
متن کاملNumerical Transformations in Five-month-old Human Infants
We explore numerical abilities in five-month-old infants. Wynn (1992) showed that, when an object is added to or removed from a set of one or two hidden objects, fivemonth-old infants can infer the result of this transformation. However, in Wynn’s experiment, the objects were always placed at the same two locations. Hence, it remained an open question whether infants developed numerical or loca...
متن کاملObject permanence in five-month-old infants.
A new method was devised to test object permanence in young infants. Fivemonth-old infants were habituated to a screen that moved back and forth through a 180-degree arc, in the manner of a drawbridge. After infants reached habituation, a box was centered behind the screen. Infants were shown two test events: a possible event and an impossible event. In the possible event, the screen stopped wh...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Intersensory Processing in Five-Month-Old Infants
Two experiments assessing event-related potentials in 5-month-old infants were conducted to examine neural correlates of attentional salience and efficiency of processing of a visual event (woman speaking) paired with redundant (synchronous) speech, nonredundant (asynchronous) speech, or no speech. In Experiment 1, the Nc component associated with attentional salience was greater in amplitude f...
متن کاملFive-month-old infants' identification of the sources of vocalizations.
Humans speak, monkeys grunt, and ducks quack. How do we come to know which vocalizations animals produce? Here we explore this question by asking whether young infants expect humans, but not other animals, to produce speech, and further, whether infants have similarly restricted expectations about the sources of vocalizations produced by other species. Five-month-old infants matched speech, but...
