Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Point-light displays have been shown to be effective in testing infants' sensitivity to biological movements without the confounding effects of context. Stick-walker displays and stop-motion displays can still be influenced by contextual factors, while swarm displays may not provide enough clear and identifiable movement patterns for infants to differentiate between.
