Cross-Modal Transfer of Shape Is Difficult To Demonstrate in One-Month-Olds.
Maurer, Daphne; Stager, Christine L.; Mondloch, Catherine J.
Child Development, v70 n5 p1047-57 Sep-Oct 1999
Three experiments examined cross-modal transfer of shape between touch and vision in 1-month-olds, controlling for side bias and stimulus preference. Results did not provide good evidence that 1-month-olds can transfer information about smooth or nubby shapes from touch to vision. Findings highlight the need to control for side bias and stimulus preference. (Author/KB)
