Peer reviewedEldred, Carolyn A. – Child Development, 1973

Peer reviewedBertenthal, Bennett I.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
Examines, in three experiments, infant sensitivity at 20, 30, and 36 weeks of age to 3-dimensional structure of a human form specified through biomechanical motions. Findings are interpreted as suggesting that infants, by 36 weeks of age, are extracting fundamental properties necessary for interpreting a point-light display as a person. (Author/BE)
