Multimodal events and moving locations: eye movements of adults and 6-month-olds reveal dynamic spatial indexing
Richardson, D.C. and Kirkham, Natasha Z. (2004) Multimodal events and moving locations: eye movements of adults and 6-month-olds reveal dynamic spatial indexing. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General 133 (1), pp. 46-62. ISSN 0096-3445.
Abstract
The ability to keep track of locations in a dynamic, multimodal environment is crucial for successful interactions with other people and objects. The authors investigated the existence and flexibility of spatial indexing in adults and 6-month-old infants by adapting an eye-tracking paradigm from D. C. Richardson and M. J. Spivey (2000). Multimodal events were presented in specific locations, and eye movements were measured when the auditory portion of the stimulus was presented without its visual counterpart. Experiment 1 showed that adults spatially index auditory information even when the original associated locations move. Experiments 2 and 3 showed that infants are capable of both binding multimodal events to locations and tracking those locations when they move.
