When 2 stimuli were presented side by side, 4-5-month-old infants looked longer at a visual target that differed from a previously exposed standard target. This reaction to the discrepant target indicated that infants could detect a change involving the arrangement of the constituent elements and the orientation of the standard pattern. When infants were given the opportunity to view paired targets that were both different from the previously exposed standard, there was no evidence that orientation was a less dimension than pattern arrangement. Instead, the infants' fixation behavior seemed to be a function of the relative discrepancy of the paired test stimuli from the previously exposed standard pattern.
当两个刺激并排呈现时，4至5个月大的婴儿会更长时间地注视与先前呈现的标准目标不同的视觉目标。对差异目标的这种反应表明，婴儿能够察觉到涉及组成元素排列和标准图案方向的变化。当让婴儿有机会观看与先前呈现的标准都不同的配对目标时，没有证据表明方向是比图案排列次要的维度。相反，婴儿的注视行为似乎是配对测试刺激与先前呈现的标准图案之间相对差异的函数。
