Developmental changes in inhibition of return from 3 to 6 months of age

Infant Behav Dev. 2010 Apr;33(2):245-9. doi: 10.1016/j.infbeh.2009.12.011. Epub 2010 Feb 1.

Abstract

The development of inhibition of return was examined in 3-6-month-olds using varied stimulus onset asynchronies. The 300 ms SOA condition revealed particularly interesting findings as it elicited facilitation in 4.5-month-olds, but inhibition in 6-month-olds. Implications for understanding the development of IOR are discussed.
