A Study of the Relative Dominance of Vision and Touch in Six-Month-Old Infants
Gratch, Gerald
Child Development, 43, 2, 615-23, Jun 72
A six-month-old infant who can remove a transparent cloth from his hand when it is covered after he grasps a toy may not be able to remove an opaque cover. Alternative interpretations of the phenomenon, that is, degree of bimanual coordination and focus of attention, are discussed. (Author/MB)
