Screening for refractive errors in 6-9 month old infants by photorefraction.
The method of isotropic photorefraction has been used in a trial of refractive screening of 6-9 month old infants. Data are presented on the calibration of the method against retinoscopic measurements and its reliability. In photorefractive screening of 1096 infants under cyclopentolate cycloplegia 5% were found to be hypermetropic (over +3.5 D), 4.5% myopic, and 1.3% anisometropic (over 1 D). ...
متن کاملRatio abstraction by 6-month-old infants.
Human infants appear to be capable of the rudimentary mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, and ordering. To determine whether infants are capable of extracting ratios, we presented 6-month-old infants with multiple examples of a single ratio. After repeated presentations of this ratio, the infants were presented with new examples of a new ratio, as well as new examples of the previ...
متن کاملPredictive Reaching for Occluded Objects by 6-Month-Old Infants
Infants were presented with an object that moved into reaching space on a path that was either continuously visible or interrupted by an occluder. Infants’ reaching was reduced sharply when an occluder was present, even though the occluder itself was out of reach and did not serve as a barrier to direct reaching for the object. We account for these findings and for the apparently contrasting fi...
متن کاملDeferred imitation by 6- and 9-month-old infants: more evidence for declarative memory.
Deferred imitation has recently surfaced as a hallmark measure of nonverbal declarative memory. In two experiments, we examined the developmental origins of deferred imitation during early infancy. Six- and 9-month-old human infants observed an experimenter perform specific actions with multiple objects. The infants' ability to reproduce those actions was assessed following a 24-hr delay. With ...
متن کاملImitative Games by 9-, 14-, and 18-Month-Old Infants
Two experiments used a mutual imitation paradigm to assess 9-, 14-, and 18-month-old infants’ developing understanding of intentions in others. In the first study, 1 experimenter imitated the infants’ actions, and another experimenter performed contingent but different actions on an identical toy. From 9 months of age, infants show discrimination between the mimicking and the contingent experim...
