“…Existing infant systems (Aslin, in press;Haith, 1969;Salapatek & Kessen, 1966) record the eye movements of infants who are lying on their backs with their heads on a mattress or in a sling-like holder. The infant is often given a pacifier to suck on to keep the head positioned at the midline.…”

“…There have been some successful attempts to collect data on scanning from infants, primarily in the newborn period, by using some variant of the corneal reflection method (e.g., Haith, 1969;Salapatek & Kessen, 1966). In these methods, direction of regard is calculated from features of the scanning eye recorded with infraredsensitive movie film or an infrared-sensitive vidicon in a closed circuit television system.…”

“…In subsequent research using modifications of this technique, IR light sources were placed on the perimeter of a stimulus (e.g., at the vertices of a large triangle). The relation between the pupil and the reflections ofthe IR light was used to track the infant's scanning pattern (see, e.g., Haith, 1969;Maurer & Sa1apatek, 1976;Sa1apatek, 1968;Salapatek & Kessen, 1966).…”

A system for monitoring the timing of infant gazes to specific locations is described. Infants sit on a parent's lap in a dark room and observe videotaped stimuli presented on one of four monitors. Infrared (IR) light sources provide illumination for an IR-sensitive video camera and are positioned so that the infant's direction of gaze can be readily apprehended on the basis of the reflections of the IR light sources relative to the infant's pupil. The parent monitors the infant's eyes through a headmounted display and keeps the infant in view of the video camera. Direction and timing of gaze shifts can be coded from frame-by-frame inspection of the videotape. We demonstrate that this coding is relatively accurate and that the present system provides some advantages over coding gaze direction on the basis of an unembellished video recording.

“…In fact, the data of Nelson and Kessen (1969), Salapatek and Kessen (1966), Salapatek (1969) and Zaporozhets (1965) may be critical in demonstrating neuronal models described by Sokolov (1963). The failure to demonstrate an OR may be a filnction of the stimulus material rather than the inability of the infant to construct a model.…”

Attention and Verbal Labeling Behavior: A Study in the Measurement of Internal Representations1

This study was interested in determining whether (1) novelty produces greater or less attention than familiarity and incongruity, and (2) if children's labeling behavior was related to their attentive behavior. Using 3‐ to 5‐year‐old children, the results indicate that attention, at least for the stimuli presented, is an increasing function from familiar to incongruous to novel. Moreover, Ss' speed and accuracy of labeling was related to their attentive behavior with familiar stimuli producing mostly correct labels with short latencies while incongruous or novel stimuli produced mostly incorrect or no labels with long latencies. These results were discussed in relationship to the concept of novelty.
