title: [Visual selectivity in infants. Study of visual preference for new images in normal infants].
abstract: The authors report and assess a method for the study of the development of visual selectivity in 9 infants aged 11 to 41 weeks. This study confirms previous results and shows that from 11 weeks, infants who are offered a choice between a new or a familiar picture look preferentially at the new one. The authors propose to apply this method to the early evaluation of cognitive development in infants.
