Infants Parse Dynamic Action.
Baldwin, Dare A.; Baird, Jodie A.; Saylor, Megan M.; Clark, M. Angela
Child Development, v72 n3 p708-17 May-Jun 2001
Two studies investigated whether 10- to 11-month-olds possess skills for parsing ongoing behavior along boundaries correlated with initiation and completion of intentions. Found that infants showed renewed interest in test videos in which motion paused in the midst of an actor's pursuit of intentions; suspended motion at intentional boundary points sparked no renewed interest.
