Infants' Predictive Reaching for Moving Objects in the Dark.
Robin, Daniel J.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v32 n5 p824-35 Sep 1996
Thirteen infants were presented with a moving object under two lighting conditions to investigate the role of vision in early reaching. Infants were tested twice, at 5 and 7.5 months of age. The results suggest that proprioceptive feedback and sight of the target allowed for successful reaching with limited visual information, even in relatively complex reaching tasks. (MDM)
