In a sequence of carefully designed studies, the authors document infants' abilities to extract the relevant (i.e. rewarded) attribute from complex arrays of color, shape, and texture. The evidence indictes that the infant's discrimination is based on abstracting the dimensions of the array, rather than learning to respond to a particular example. Moreover, the process of learning takes the form of hypothesis-testing and hence implies some type of internal mediation. Addressing an issue that has long been controversial (and whose history the authors summarize in a masterful fashion), this work has significant implications for understanding the nature of early learning.

Infant Cognition: Predicting Later Intellectual Functioning (Individual Differences and Development)

The historical and procedural contexts of four measures of infant attention and learning - measures that have proved the most promising in predicting later childhood intellectual performance - are explored in this volume. Incorporating the latest research literature on individual differences in the preverbal infant, the author examines the psychometric properties for the measures, their concurrent relations with other measures of early cognition and development, and evidence of their predictive ability.
