The Perception of Stimulus Shape: The Influence of Velocity of Stimulus Movement.
Byrne, Joseph M.; Horowitz, Frances Degen
Child Development, v55 n4 p1625-29 Aug 1984
Examines discrimination of geometric shapes by three-month-old infants who were presented with geometric stimuli moving laterally at two different velocities. Finds that subjects discriminate between geometric forms at velocities that, according to previous findings, might interfere with shape discrimination. Discusses the possible interactive effect of type and velocity of motion. (Author/CB)
