Visual Guidance in Infants' Reaching toward Suddenly Displaced Targets.
Ashmead, Daniel H.; And Others
Child Development, v64 n4 p1111-27 Aug 1993
Fourteen five- and nine-month-old infants were presented with illuminated toys to reach for in total darkness. In half the trials, a luminescent marker was attached to the reaching hand. The nine-month olds reached just as accurately with or without the hand marker, whereas five-month olds were generally inaccurate and unaffected by the marker. (MDM)
