Visual Habituation at Five Months: Short-Term Reliability of Measures Obtained With a New Polynomial Regression Criterion

Abstract: Using a new polynomial regression criterion, the authors investigated empirically the short-term reliability of infants' visual habituation measures. Twenty-one 5-month-old infants were tested twice with a 1-day interval. Results revealed many reliable habituation measures, a reliable reaction to novelty measure, and a new reliable measure of interest. The 2nd-order polynomial regression criterion probably produced this improvement because it uses all of the available looking time data.

“…Results found here agree with those of Rose et al. () who found no stability for processing speed or overall percent novel using the serial task when infants were tested at more than one age, and they agree with results from a variety of preference tasks reporting poor reliability (e.g., Andersson, ; Bornstein, Brown, & Slater, ; Colombo et al., ; Lavoie & Desrochers, ; Rose et al., ; Tashihsazan, Nettelbeck, & Kirby, ; Thompson, Fagan, & Fulker, ). Moderate test–retest correlations were nonetheless reported when novelty preferences were averaged across trials during traditional habituation and paired‐comparison studies (e.g., Colombo et al., ; Rose & Feldman, ; for reviews, see Bornstein & Sigman, ; McCall & Carriger, ; Rose et al., ; Slater, ).…”

“…Term infants' longitudinal shift from familiar to the novel word-object mappings is evidence for word learning, whereas their null-preference at visit 1 suggests a transition to the familiar or novel (Rose, Gottfried, & Bridger, 1981). A confluence of ongoing organismic-environmental interactions between term infants' age and attention, maternal naming frequency, and synchrony use contributed to this longitudinal shift when familiarization length was held constant (Gogate & Maganti, 2016;also Hunter & Ames, 1988;Lavoie & Desrochers, 2002). The shift is consistent with prior findings where the same familiarization length yielded a preference for the familiar stimulus-event in younger infants, but the novel in older infants in the second year (Houston-Price & Nakai, 2004;Mather et al, 2011).…”

“…Les deux animaux sautillent continuellement à une hauteur approximative de 2 centimètres. Notons qu'une pré-expérimentation a permis de démontrer l'équivalence des deux stimuli en termes d'attirance initiale des nourrissons (Lemieux, 2001), Par ailleurs, ces stimuli ont déjà été utilisés en combinaison dans le cadre d'une procédure d'habituation contrôlée par l'enfant auprès de nourrissons de 4 mois (Lemieux, 2001) et de 5 mois (Lavoie & Desrochers, 2002); les résultats obtenus révèlent l'habileté des nourrissons à bien les distinguer, ainsi qu'une bonne fidélité test-retest. L'étude de Lavoie et Desrochers indique également peu d'effet de mémoire d'une session à l'autre, suggérant la pertinence d'utiliser le même stimulus lors des différentes sessions expérimentales afin de diminuer la variance attribuable à la tâche.…”
