Abstract: We have
recently used a multi-channel, image-filtering model
to study the development of visual selective attention
in human infants (Schlesinger,
Amso, & Johnson,
2007). In the current study, we employ the same model
to simulate infants’ gaze patterns during a perceptual
completion task. The model not only succeeds in capturing
the gaze patterns produced by young infants, but also
provides support for the idea that a single neural
mechanism may help to account for changes in visual
selective attention and perceptual completion during
early infancy.
