If using shape perception infants should perceive c as a surprise and b as boring. Figure: blue band as an occluder, ca(cid:374)"t tell if the g(cid:396)ee(cid:374) (cid:271)a(cid:396) is o(cid:374)e g(cid:396)ee(cid:374) (cid:271)a(cid:396) o(cid:396) t(cid:449)o sepa(cid:396)ate bars, after habituating infants to the original condition, she showed infants the next image and. If infants can understand objects past occlusion they should be surprised with condition 1 and not surprised with condition 2. Infants used unitary movement and path cues to infer that a single object was occluded. Implies that infants interpret sensory information according to a primitive object concept: can understand occlusion, 2. Do infants understand objects are solid: that they occupy point in space that (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t be occupied by other objects.
