The development of the capacity for social attention coordination, or "joint attention," is a major milestone of infancy. Data from a recent study of handicapped infants have raised the hypothesis that the tendency to initiate bids for joint attention may reflect processes associated with the fronta

Very early in the development of neural connections in the brain, axons find their targets without the aid of neural activity. In subsequent stages of development, however, neural activity plays an important role. The visual pathway has provided important clues to the role of activity in brain devel
A preferential looking technique was used to measure detection of visual motion by 12 infant macaque monkeys (10 Macaca fuscatta and 2 Macaca mulatta at ages between 1 and 100 days). A 0.25 cycleddeg square-wave grating was presented at speeds from 40 to 0.4 deg/s. The threshold was determined by a
