Sensation the experience resulting from the stimulation of a sense organ. Perception the interpretation of sensory stimulation based on experience.

If infant does not have a spontaneous preference. Infant tends to look at a novel stimulus over afamiliar: p(cid:396)efe(cid:396)e(cid:374)tial looki(cid:374)g. Requires a spontaneous preference on the part of the infant. Habituation: familiarize to one stimulus and test with a different one, measure looking time to stimulus during habituation and test. If infant can discriminate test from familiar they should dishabituate: no(cid:448)elty-preference, has components of preferential looking and habituation, familiarize to initial stimulus like in habituation, test is similar to preferential looking. Visual scanning and eye movements: where the infant is looking, how fast the infant look.
