The Development of Infant Sensitivity to Biomechanical Motions.
Bertenthal, Bennett I.; And Others
Child Development, v56 n3 p531-43 Jun 1985
Examines, in three experiments, infant sensitivity at 20, 30, and 36 weeks of age to 3-dimensional structure of a human form specified through biomechanical motions. Findings are interpreted as suggesting that infants, by 36 weeks of age, are extracting fundamental properties necessary for interpreting a point-light display as a person. (Author/BE)
