Perception of Symmetry in Infancy: The Salience of Vertical Symmetry and the Perception of Pattern Wholes.

Bornstein, Marc H.; Krinsky, Sharon J.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n1 p1-19 Feb 1985

Four experiments assessed converging aspects of four-month-old infants' perceptions of visual patterns. Results together corroborate and extend previous findings that vertical symmetry has a special status in early perceptual development and that infants can perceive pattern wholes. (Author/AS)
