Individual and Developmental Differences in Disengagement of Fixation in Early Infancy.
Frick, Janet E.; Colombo, John; Saxon, Terrill F.
Child Development, v70 n3 p537-48 May-Jun 1999
Investigated whether individual and developmental differences in look duration were correlated with latency to disengage fixation from a visual stimulus for 3- and 4-month olds. Found that look duration was correlated with disengagement latency. Three-month olds showed slower latencies than 4-month olds. Long-looking infants showed greater variability in response latencies under conditions requiring disengagement of fixation. (Author/KB)
