Neonatal oculomotor behavior was observed under various conditions of visual and auditory stimulation. In 1 experiment babies were observed tracking a moving visual target with their eyes. Such tracking was uninfluenced by the addition of sound to the visual target, nor was it disrupted by the presence of a stationary auditory stimulus. The presentation of a moving auditory stimulus alone was not sufficient to elicit reliable tracking responses. In a second experiment, neonates failed to show ocular orientation toward a laterally presented sound. These findings are interpreted as illustrating the relative independence of auditory and visual perception during the neonatal period.
在各种视觉和听觉刺激条件下观察新生儿的眼球运动行为。在一项实验中，观察到婴儿用眼睛追踪移动的视觉目标。这种追踪不受向视觉目标添加声音的影响，也不会因静止听觉刺激的存在而中断。仅呈现移动的听觉刺激不足以引发可靠的追踪反应。在第二项实验中，新生儿未能表现出对侧向呈现声音的眼部定向。这些发现被解释为说明了新生儿期听觉和视觉感知的相对独立性。
