A Critical Test of Infant Pattern Preference Models.
Dannemiller, James L.; Stephens, Benjamin R.
Child Development, v59 n1 p210-16 Feb 1988
Evaluates models of infant visual preferences with predictions based on the physical attributes of visual patterns using pairs of schematic faces and abstract patterns identical except for contrast reversals. Results suggest that a fundamental change in the determinants of visual preference occurs postnatally between 6 and 12 weeks. (Author/RWB)
