Reznick, J. Steven; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Betts, Stephanie

Child Development, v71 n5 p1191-1204 Sep-Oct 2000

Two experiments used Visual Expectations Procedure to investigate development of expectations in infants up to 12 months old. Reaction time improved and the percentage of anticipations increased between 6 and 9 months using an alternation pattern or a complex pivot pattern, and between 4 and 8 months when using a left-right alternation or a top-bottom alternation, but not thereafter.
