Evidence for a general category of oblique orientations in four-month-old infants.
Recent work on orientation perception and memory in infants suggest that oblique stimulus orientations are treated as members of a category. The two studies in this report support this hypothesis and extend previous findings by demonstrating that this category includes obliques on either side of vertical even when infants are previously exposed to obliques on only one side.
