Q

Vertical scanners do/do not have perceptual completion.

A

do not

looking up and down at the two pieces

17
Q

Horizontal scanners do/do not have perceptual completion.

A

do

looking at one rod

18
Q

What is the mechanism that allows infants to efficiently eye track the rods?

A

efficient visual attention

19
Q

What is efficient visual attention?

A

targeted visual exploration

20
Q

How do we develop efficient visual attention?

A

brain maturation and increasing control of oculomotor behavior

21
Q

In what order to babies learn how to sit?

A
  1. laying down
  2. tripod sitter
  3. independent sitter
22
Q

What experiment studied infants’ 3D object completion in correlation with sitting ability?

A

split infants into three groups (none, tripod, independent) and tracked interactions with toy

23
Q

What did the results of the 3D object completion experiment find?

A

independent sitters had the most interactions with toys

24
Q

Why did the laying down infant group have the least interactions with toys?

A

they have both hands to observe the toy, but it’s hard to see it from laying down

25
Q

Why did the laying down infant group have the intermediate interactions with toys?

A

they only have 1 hand to observe the toy

26
Q

Why did the independent sitting infant group have the most interactions with toys?

A

they have two hands AND can see the toy well

27
Q

What theory does the 3D object completion experiment closely align with?

A

dynamic systems theory

28
Q

2D understanding –> 3D understanding is driven by ____.

A

the ability to sit
