| Description | The use of an eye tracker allowed more precise test of various hypotheses regarding infants' knowledge of objects. More specifically, the eye tracker data supported a perceptual developmenta account of the origins of knowledge rather than an account based on innate understanding. |
| Exploitation Route | The use of eye tracker measures has great potential to clarify our understanding of development of infant knowledge. |
