The "What" and "Where" of Object Representations in Infancy.
Mareschal, Denis; Johnson, Mark H.
Cognition, v88 n3 p259-76 Jul 2003
Tested 4-month-olds' memory for surface feature and location information following brief occlusions. Found that when target objects were images of female faces or monochromatic asterisks, infants increased looking times following changes in identity or color but not changes in location or combinations of feature and location. When objects were images of manipulable toys, infants increased looking time following location change but not identity change or location and identity information. (Author/KB)
