Johnson et al. (2004) presented moving occluded rods to 3-month-old infants, and classified the infants as "perceivers" or "nonperceivers" of a unified, occluded rod. The main finding of the study was that _____.
A) perceivers and nonperceivers did not differ in eye movements
B) perceivers and nonperceivers did not differ in VEP activity
C) perceivers tended to make more horizontal eye movements
D) perceivers tended to look at the stationary occluder

Question

Johnson et al. (2004) presented moving occluded rods to 3-month-old infants, and classified the infants as "perceivers" or  "nonperceivers" of a unified, occluded rod. The main finding of the study was that _____.
A) perceivers and nonperceivers did not differ in eye movements
B) perceivers and nonperceivers did not differ in VEP activity
C) perceivers tended to make more horizontal eye movements
D) perceivers tended to look at the stationary occluder

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceivers tended to make more horizontal eye movements, indicating they were tracking the movement of the rod as a single object despite the occlusion, suggesting an understanding of object continuity.
