Object and Event Representation in 6 1/2-Month-Old Infants.
Goubet, Nathalie; Clifton, Rachel K.
Developmental Psychology, v34 n1 p63-76 Jan 1998
Two experiments studied infants' use of remembered knowledge of auditory-visual events to guide reaching and grasping. Results indicated that reaching was initiated and completed after sound cues ceased. Accurate searching depended on subjects' experience in light presentation. Results suggest that 6 1/2-month-olds can represent unseen objects and events and use this knowledge to guide their actions to achieve goals. (Author/KB)
