Infants' Transitions toward Adult-Like Scanning.
Bronson, Gordon W.
Child Development, v65 n5 p1243-61 Oct 1994
Examined the visual scanning patterns of infants ages 6, 10, and 13 weeks who viewed static geometric figures. Measures of fixation dwell-times, saccade lengths, and the choices and sequences of saccadic targets revealed that, although younger infants demonstrated salience-guided scanning behavior, older infants increasingly utilized volitional control over the choice of saccadic targets.
