Description Usage Format Source Examples
Data are from 19 infants (11.5-12.5 months) learning to categorize objects based on a single feature, either form or color. Each infant performed 28 trials of an occluder paradigm: the stimulus appears, disappears behind an occluder, and then reappears at either the left or right hand side of the screen. Learning is determined by anticipatory looking to the correct side of the screen. Importantly, these data also contain a measure of habituation: the number of times infants look away from the screen on which the stimulus is projected. Infants tend to start paying less attention when stimuli are presented repeatedly, which may interfere with determining whether learning has taken place. The data consists of 8 variables describing several aspects of the learning process, see details below.
