Toddlers' referential understanding of pictures.
Pictures are referential in that they can represent objects in the real world. Here we explore the emergence of understanding of the referential potential of pictures during the second year of life.

Later they were presented with the picture of a...

Exposure to representational media is common for infants in western culture, and previous research has shown that soon after their first birthday, infants can acquire and extend new information from pictures to objects.

The current experiment explores how statistical information helps infants decipher the strength (Experiment...
