“…For infants, the likelihood of responding to subjective contours depends on the support ratio (Otsuka, Kanazawa, & Yamaguchi, 2004), overall size (Kavsek, 2002), and presence of motion cues (e.g., Curran, Braddick, Atkinson, Wattam-Bell, & Andrew, 1999). Young infants (3-and 4-month-olds) respond to subjective contours when the support ratio is high (66%) (Otsuka et al, 2004) or when motion is available (Curran et al, 1999;Johnson & Aslin, 1998). In addition, 4-month-olds respond to subjective contours in relatively small figures, whereas even 7-month-olds fail to do so in a large figure, suggesting a critical influence of the spatial separation between the inducers in infants' perception of subjective contours (Kavsek, 2002).…”
