Object Perception in Infancy: Interaction of Spatial and Kinetic Information for Object Boundaries.
Spelke, Elizabeth S.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v25 n2 p185-96 Mar 1989
In three studies, infants reached for objects as distinct units when the objects moved separately or were separated in space. Otherwise, infants reached for objects as one unit. In one study, patterns of dishabituation provided further evidence that separated or separately moving objects were perceived as distinct units. (RH)
