Kung infancy: the social context of object exploration.

Postural position constrains multimodal object exploration in infants.

Recent research has revealed the important role of multimodal object exploration in infants' cognitive and social development. Yet, the real time effects of postural position on infants' object exploration have been largely ignored. In the current study, 5- to 7-month-old infants (N = 29) handled objects while placed in supported sitting, supine, and prone postures, and their spontaneous explor...

Give Me a Hand: Adult Involvement During Object Exploration Affects Object Individuation in Infancy.

The development of object individuation, a fundamental ability that supports identification and discrimination of objects across discrete encounters, has been examined extensively by researchers. There are significant advancements in infants' ability to individuate objects during the first year-and-a-half. Experimental work has established a timeline of object individuation abilities and reveal...

MonitorExplorer: A State Exploration-Based Approach to Testing Java Monitors

A Java monitor is a Java class that defines one or more synchronized methods. Unlike a regular object, a Java monitor object is intended to be accessed by multiple threads simultaneously. Thus, testing a Java monitor can be significantly different from testing a regular class. In this paper, we propose a state exploration-based approach to testing a Java monitor. A novel aspect of our approach ...

AM281, Cannabinoid Antagonist/Inverse agonist, Ameliorates Scopolamine-Induced Cognitive Deficit

Objective(s) Cannabinoids have been implicated in memory deficit. We examined the effect of AM281, cannabinoid antagonist/inverse agonist in prevention of scopolamine-induced cognitive deficit. Materials and Methods  Object recognition task was used to evaluate memory in mice. Exploration time in the first and the second trial was recorded. The differences in exploration between a previously...

Improvements in Object Exploration Skills May Facilitate the Development of Object Segregation in Early Infancy
