Description
Summary:Assessed the ability of young infants to anticipate the arrival of temporally cued events. 16 7-month-olds and 16 adult subjects were presented with 17 trials in which, 10s after onset of a white noise (S1), an age-appropriate, interesting event (S2) occurred. On 3 additional trials, distributed throughout the S1-S2 paired trials, reaction to omission of the S2 was assessed. (Abstract amended)
