The Role of Visual and Body Movement Information in Infant Search.
Schmuckler, Mark A.; Tsang-Tong, Hannah Y.
Developmental Psychology, v36 n4 p499-510 Jul 2000
Three experiments investigated use of visual input and body movement input arising from movement through the world on spatial orientation. Experiments involved infants searching for a toy hidden in one of two containers. Findings indicated that search was best after infant movement in a lit environment prior to searching; all other conditions led to equivalently worse performance. (Author/KB)
