Infant Sensitivity to Figural Coherence in Biomechanical Motions.
Bertenthal, Bennett I.; Proffitt, Dennis R.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v37 n2 p213-30 Apr 1984
Two experiments tested whether three- and five-month-old infants could discriminate between upright and inverted versions of point-light displays moving as if attached to the major joints of a walking person. Experiment one investigated discrimination between upright and inverted versions of walker in moving and static displays; experiment two clarified whether or not structural invariants were extracted from these displays.
