The Use of Habituation to Investigate Basic Level and Superordinate Level Categorization in Cerebral Palsied Infants
Abstract
dc:descriptionPerceptual-cognitive development in cerebral palsied (CP) infants has been difficult to evaluate because of the infants' impaired motor ability. The present study overcame this difficulty by using a modified habituation paradigm. This procedure requires a minimum amount of movement from the infant, yet allows for indepedent assessments of Attention Getting, as measured by the infant's latency to turn and Attention Holding, as measured by fixation duration.
