TI  - Infants' acquisition of spatiotemporal expectations.
PG  - 247-57
AB  - The microdevelopment of infants' visual expectations was examined by analysis of 
      the eye movements that 80 three-month-old human infants made during interstimulus 
      intervals (ISIs) of an alternating picture sequence. For comparison, identical 
      eye movement data were gathered from 10 infants who watched an irregular 
      sequence. Shifts during ISIs were exhibited by all infants and occurred on 48% of 
      all trials. Initially, infants' ISI shifts repeated saccades that had 
      successfully located the preceding picture; during the course of the alternating 
      session, repetitive saccades declined while alternating and anticipatory saccades 
      increased. For infants who saw the irregular sequence, the frequency of ISI 
      shifts did not vary systematically over trials. Analysis of saccade latencies 
      suggested that infants quickly learned to inhibit a prepotent tendency in order 
      to execute task-appropriate saccades.
