The Scanning of Compound Figures by Young Infants.
Maurer, Daphne
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v35 n3 p437-48 Jun 1983
Investigates infants' scanning of two compound stimuli by presenting features (either squares or faces) inside a frame, the frame alone, and features alone. The apparent disappearance of external bias at about 21 months appears to apply to the scanning of only some compound figures. For schematic face figures, no external bias was found. (Author/RH)
