The Development of Relational Landmark Use in Six- to Twelve-Month-Old Infants in a Spatial Orientation Task.
Lew, Adina R.; Bremner, J. Gavin; Lefkovitch, Leonard P.
Child Development, v71 n5 p1179-90 Sep-Oct 2000
Examined development of infants' relational coding in spatial orientation problems. Found that 6-month-olds performed poorly in a peekaboo task in which they had to turn to a target after displacement to a novel position and direction. Twelve- month-olds solved the tasks whether or not target was located between two landmarks; 8.5-month-olds performed significantly better with landmarks than without landmarks. (Author/KB)
