Document Summary
Perceptual template: are babies more attentive to particular images than others, schematic spider reconfigured features completely scrambled, show one that moves across the screen and measure looking time. Infants care more about schematic spider than the others, so they expect a particular pattern of arrangement for the stimulus (i. e. , curvature and legs in a particular orientation) Use direction (north, south, east, west) all the time, even young people. Uses place learning (cues as landmarks) on the wall rather than trial and error. For children, the toy is hidden in same corner. That is, the target location is held constant. Ensures that bad performance is not due to carry-over effects (interference from previous trials) The standing position of experimenter and parent is varied across trials. Ensures that children can"t be using non-geometry info to solve the task. The standing position of children varies across trials.
