The Development of Perceptual Completion Abilities: Infants' Perception of Stationary, Partially Occluded Objects.
Craton, Lincoln G.
Child Development, v67 n3 p890-904 Jun 1996

Pattern of infants' looking times suggests that they perceive the unity of the partially occluded object by 6.5 months but did not perceive the form of the hidden part until 8 months. (HTH)
