Body-Centered Representations for Visually-Guided Action Emerge during Early Infancy.
Gilmore, Rick O.; Johnson, Mark H.
Cognition, v65 n1 pB1-B10 Dec 1997
Investigated the nature of spatial representations underlying simple visually guided actions with 3- and 7-month-old infants. Saccades in older infants were executed within body-centered spatial coordinates that account for intervening eye movements, whereas younger infants responded according to the target's retinocentric locations without accounting for previous saccadic experience, suggesting that body-centered representations are learned responses.
