Investigated the preference for orienting to novel locations and novel objects in young infants in 2 experiments, by examining the influence of visual signals on subsequent attentional orienting and eye movements. Exp 1 ( n = 12) demonstrates that 3-mo-olds show inhibition of return (IOR) for 10Deg. target eccentricities, but not for 30Deg. target eccentricities. In Exp 2, 14 3-mo-olds and 14 6-mo-olds oriented to 10Deg. targets that varied in location and object identity. Ss of both ages strongly preferred orienting to novel objects at novel locations. At 3 mo, the preference for novel objects was equal to the preference for novel locations, while at 6 mo a tendency to prefer novel objects over novel locations emerged. Overall, findings support separate development of these 2 forms of novelty preference, and suggest that novel location preferences (IOR) relates closely to the eye movement system.
