Pattern Preferences at Birth and Their Interaction with Habituation-Induced Novelty Preferences.
Slater, Alan; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n1 p37-54 Feb 1985
Three experiments are described which relate to models of infant visual preferences and to the ways in which preferences can be modified or created by habituation. Results suggest that the Banks and Salapatek's contrast sensitivity model can be a powerful predictor of preferential looking in newborns and that preferences based on experience can be found from birth.
