Object Recognition and Object Segregation in 4.5-Month-Old Infants.

Needham, Amy

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v78 n1 p3-24 Jan 2001

Investigated in 6 experiments how 4.5-month-old infants' perception of a display is affected by an immediate prior experience with an object similar to part of the test display. Found that infants' use of a prior experience is disrupted by changes in the features of the object, but not by change in its spatial orientation. (JPB)
