Perception of Object Unity in 2-Month-Old Infants.
Johnson, Scott P.; Aslin, Richard N.
Developmental Psychology, v31 n5 p739-45 Sep 1995
Examined perception of object unity in partial occlusion in 72 infants. Recorded how long subjects looked at a display of complete and incomplete rods. In test and control conditions, infants looked longer at broken rods than at complete rods, suggesting that infants' cognitive, visual, or attentional skills may be insufficient to support perception of object unity.
