Looking Ahead: Anticipatory Gaze and Motor Ability in Infancy

Looking Ahead: Anticipatory Gaze and Motor Ability in Infancy

The present study asks when infants are able to selectively anticipate the goals of observed actions, and how this ability relates to infants' own abilities to produce those specific actions. Using eye-tracking technology to measure on-line anticipation, 6-, 8- and 10-month-old infants and a control group of adults were tested while observing an adult reach with a whole hand grasp, a precision ...

Looking Ahead?

Human and nonhuman primates are not mentally constrained to the present. They can remember the past and—at least to an extent—anticipate the future. Anticipation of the future ranges from long-term prospection such as planning for retirement to more short-term future-oriented cognition such as planning a route through a maze. Here we tested a great ape species (chimpanzees), an Old World monkey...

Looking at Full Looking Ahead

Haralick and Elliott's full looking ahead algorithm [4] was presented in the same article as forward checking, but is not as commonly used. We give experimental results which indicate that on some types of constraint satisfaction problems, full looking ahead outperforms forward checking. We also present three new looking ahead algorithms, all variations on full looking ahead, which were designe...
