Biondi, Marisa E (2018-12-03)There is a large body of work demonstrating that infants are sensitive to the distinction between human and mechanical agents from the early months of life, with different expectations for how those agents move and interact ...
-
Wruck, Eric Michael (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Over recent decades, much has been learned about the perceptual capacity that enables infants to recognize and understand language. However, not until very recently have the neural mechanisms that are the substance of ...

Wahlberg, Andrea Christine (2014-05-28)Visuospatial neglect (VSN), the failure to report, respond, or orient to novel or meaningful visual stimuli presented in a specific location, is a frequently occurring outcome following stroke. VSN can negatively impact ...
-
Cordova, Alberto (2012-02-14)The primary intent of this study was to gain insight into children's ability to use visual information in planning reaching movements. More specifically, the work presented here examined, from a developmental perspective, ...
-
Armstrong, Jennifer R. (2010-01-14)Neuroscientists have uncovered much about the dorsal and ventral visual object processing pathways. However, little is understood about the functional development of these pathways in human infants. Behavioral data has ...
-
Fava, Eswen Elizabeth (2009-05-15)Audition is perhaps the most developed and acute sense available to infants at birth. One theory supported by speech and music researchers alike proposes that the auditory system is biased to salient properties such as ...
-
Lopes Brandao Areosa Rodrigues, Luis Paulo (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)A contemporary view of early childhood motor development considers environmental influences as critical factors in optimal growth and behavior, with the home being the primary agent. However, minimal research exists examining ...
-
Herrera, Lynee; Holmes, Sydney (2015-11-12)Infants' representation of objects is critical in learning about their environment and the way objects within the environment interact with each other. Two aspects of object processing that contribute to this understanding ...
-
Kim, Won Dae (2009-05-15)This study examined the generalization of the Dynamic Dominance Hypothesis (DDH) in regard to limb dominance, limb selection, and limb action. This study was inspired by the finding that limb selection changes from ...
-
Hawkins, Laura Bess (2014-04-24)Past adolescent and adult literature has pinpointed clear preferences for male and female body shapes within the context of reproductive fitness and mate selection. However, the question still remains whether individuals ...

Woods, Rebecca Jindalee (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Recent research suggests that by 4 months of age infants are able to individuate objects using form features, such as shape and size, but surface features, such as pattern and color, are not used until later in the first ...
-
Cacola, Priscila Martins (2012-10-19)The primary intent of this study was to gain insight into the developmental nature of spatial perception and representation. More specifically, the work presented here examined 1) the age-related ability to modulate peri- ...
-
Hirshkowitz, Amy (2014-08-05)Motion-carried information is a salient visual cue used in object perception to parse form in the optical array. The present research examined infants’ ability to extract form shapes in apparent motion stimuli, controlling ...
-
Nyman, Tristin (2018-08-28)The age at which infants are able to individuate between objects on the basis of the functional category to which it belongs has yet to be determined. Object individuation depends on a variety of object characteristics ...
-
Goodman, Lynnel 1990- (2012-04-30)Past research on parent- infant communication has failed to examine how parents communicate emotions differently and the relationships that infant sex and infant attachment may have with parental communication. The present ...
-
Hirshkowitz, Amy (2012-07-16)Three-dimensional (3D) object perception is critical for comprehending and interacting with the world. It develops during infancy and continues through adulthood. One powerful cue used for object perception is uniform ...
-
Saenz, Janet (2014-10-30)Previous research has established a relationship between prenatal testosterone and sex-linked behavior, such that higher levels of prenatal testosterone are related to more masculine behaviors. Yet, little is known about ...
-
Ammar, Diala Fouad (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The primary intent of this study was to explore fundamental questions about the role and relationship between motor (MI) and visual (VI) imagery within the context of estimating reach. Experiment 1 examined and compared ...

Kasperbauer, Tyler (2012-07-16)A landmark experiment by Kiley Hamlin, Karen Wynn, and Paul Bloom demonstrated that infants as young as 6 months old possess previously unrecognized abilities to form social evaluations. In the experiment, infants were ...
