The Nature and Processes of Preverbal Learning: Implications from Nine-Month-Old Infants' Discrimination Problem Solving.

Coldren, Jeffrey T.; Colombo, John

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v59 n4 p1-75 1994

In three experiments, nine-month-old infants were trained to fixate on a particular feature in a pair of stimuli that varied along three dimensions. In a fourth experiment, infants were trained to fixate on a stimulus compound until reaching a learning criterion. Infants' discrimination learning under these conditions implied an ability to attend to differentiated stimulus features. (BC)
