Long- and Short-Looking Infants' Recognition of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Forms.
Stoecker, Jennifer J.; Colombo, John; Frick, Janet E.; Allen, Jennifer Ryther
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v71 n1 p63-78 Oct 1998
Three experiments examined the hypothesis that individual differences in look-duration during infancy covary with different modes of visual intake and encoding, with longer look-durations reflecting encoding based on prolonged inspection of local visual properties, and briefer durations reflecting encoding based on a global, or global-to-local processing sequence. Results were in general accord with the prediction. (Author)
