- Title
A confusion between understanding and understanding symbols.
- Authors
Mandler, Jean M.
- Abstract
This article focuses on confusion in understanding symbols by infants. In the intermodal preferential looking paradigm, two videos were shown to infants side by side with a single sound source between them matching the action portrayed in one of the videos. It has been used to show the organization of incoming auditory and visual information, since people prefer matching to mismatching sources of information. Then, the infants were shown a small replica of a car with a person on top being pushed by the experimenter across a table. Then the two videos were shown again, with comprehension measured by longer looking at the matching video.
