A Longitudinal Study of Visual Expectation and Reaction Time in the First Year of Life.
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J.; Caro, Donna M.
Child Development, v73 n1 p47-61 Jan-Feb 2002
Examined developmental change and stability of visual expectation and reaction times among 5-, 7-, and 12-month-old term and preterm infants. Found that reaction times declined with age while anticipations increased. Infants with faster reaction times were more likely to anticipate upcoming events; this effect disappeared when time between stimuli was cut. Findings were similar for term and preterm infants. (JPB)
