Abstract
In a visual occlusion task, 4-month-olds were given a dynamic sound cue (following the trajectory of an object), or a static cue (sound remained stationary). Infants’ oculomotor anticipations were greater in the Dynamic condition, suggesting that representations of visual occlusion were supported by auditory information.
► This study shows that young infants’ are sensitive to intermodal information. ► Remembering objects across occlusion is crucial to representing dynamic events. ► 4-Month-olds can predict object trajectory with support from intermodal information.
