The looking behaviour toward the faces was recorded for each infant as the dependent measure and total looking times were calculated across the two conditions.
Infants' looking behaviour was coded frame by frame (25 fps) to determine the magnitude of infants' looking-time preference for the presented objects (Novel − Familiar/Novel + Familiar).
This increase in infants' looking behaviour is an indication that they understand the importance of open eyes as a cue to the other person 'seeing' the object.
Infants were seated on their parent's lap at a distance of 50 cm from the screen and looking behaviour was recorded using a Tobii 1750 eye-tracker.
Second, to examine the possible impact of atypical general mechanisms of attention, looking time and foraging measures provided complementary information regarding the distribution of infants' looking behaviour beyond face pop out.
However, although the assumption that infants' looking behaviour reflects a goal attribution is rarely questioned, it is important to establish its validity, given that the argument that infants' behaviour provides support for the mirror neuron theory of action understanding relies on this assumption.
When children are viewed to be currently partaking in risky behaviour, or their behaviour looks like it could potentially become a risky situation, the children's activities and behaviours are recorded on video.
A couple of years before, I'd met Geoff James, a local authority specialist support teacher who was looking into behaviour support for his PhD.
This research question focuses on speed while another one is looking at behaviour.
Moreover, although CaMKII has been strongly implicated in maintaining long-term potentiation (Sanhueza et al., 2011), its role in maintaining memory has not been tested by looking at behaviour in animals.
