Two-Year-Olds' Search Strategies and Visual Tracking in a Hidden Displacement Task.
Butler, Samantha C.; Berthier, Neil E.; Clifton, Rachel K.
Developmental Psychology, v38 n4 p581-90 Jul 2002
Provided 2- and 2.5-year-olds with partial visual information about a ball's path as it moved toward a hiding place. Found that both age groups were equally proficient at tracking the ball as it rolled behind a transparent screen with 4 opaque doors, but 2.5-year-olds were more likely to reach to the correct door when asked to find the ball. Looking behavior related to 2-year-olds' errors. (Author/KB)
