Color-function categories that prime infants to use color information in an object individuation task.
There is evidence for developmental hierarchies in the type of information to which infants attend when reasoning about objects. Investigators have questioned the origin of these hierarchies and how infants come to identify new sources of information when reasoning about objects. The goal of the present experiments was to shed light on this debate by identifying conditions under which infants' ...
متن کاملPriming infants to use pattern information in an object individuation task: the role of comparison.
There is evidence that 4.5-month-olds do not always use surface pattern to individuate objects but that they can be primed to attend to pattern differences through select experiences. For example, if infants are first shown events in which the pattern of an object predicts its function (dotted containers pound and striped containers pour), they will attend to pattern differences in a subsequent...
متن کاملPriming infants to attend to color and pattern information in an individuation task.
Wilcox (Cognition 72 (1999) 125) reported that infants are more sensitive to form than surface features when individuating objects in occlusion events: it is not until 7.5 months that infants spontaneously use pattern information, and 11.5 months that they spontaneously use color information, as the basis for object individuation. The present research assessed the extent to which infants' sensi...
متن کاملShaking things up: young infants' use of sound information for object individuation.
A search task was used to assess 5- to 7-month-olds' ability to use property-rich sounds to individuate objects. Results suggest that infants interpret an occlusion event involving two distinct rattle sounds as involving two objects but are unsure of how to interpret two identical rattle sounds.
