Precursors to the Development of Intention at 6 Months: Understanding People and Their Actions.
Legerstee, Maria; Barna, Joanne; DiAdamo, Carolyn
Developmental Psychology, v36 n5 p627-34 Sep 2000
Examined whether 6-month-olds expect people to behave differently toward persons and inanimate objects. Found that infants habituated to an actor talking to something hidden behind an occluder looked longer at an object, whereas infants habituated to an actor reaching and swiping looked longer at a person. No difference in looking at stimuli was observed in the control condition. (Author/KB)
