Sensory Dominance in Infants: 1. Six-Month-Old Infants' Response to Auditory-Visual Compounds.
Lewkowicz, David J.
Developmental Psychology, v24 n2 p155-71 Mar 1988
To investigate sensory dominance in early development, a series of studies examined six-month-old infants' processing of multisensory stimulus compounds. Findings indicated that infants discriminated changes in the temporal characteristics of the auditory component but not in the visual component. This and other findings suggested that auditory dominance was operating. (RH)
