Evoked potential and preferential looking correlates of the oblique effect in 3-month-old infants.
Sensitivity for vertical and horizontal gratings is higher than for obliquely oriented gratings, a phenomenon known as the oblique effect. We compared visual evoken potential and preferential looking estimates of the oblique effect in nonastigmatic 3-month-old infants and found that orientation effects occurred more frequently by visual evoked potential measure than by preferential looking.
