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.
