Infants' Ability to Draw Inferences about Nonobvious Object Properties: Evidence from Exploratory Play.
Baldwin, Dare A.; And Others
Child Development, v64 n3 p711-28 Jun 1993
Nine- to 16-month-old infants explored pairs of novel toys in 2 conditions: violated expectation, in which the first toy produced an interesting nonobvious property and the second toy did not; and interest control, in which neither toy produced the interesting property. Infants persistently attempted to reproduce the interesting property in the second toy in the violated expectation condition. (BC)
