	or good form. Adults and infants were presented with simple but unfamiliar
	displays in which all three Gestalt relations specified either one
	object or two objects-perception of the objects was assessed by a
	verbal rating method in the adults and by a preferential looking
	method in the infants. The Gestalt relations appeared to influence
	the adults' perceptions strongly. However, the relations appeared
	to have no effect on the perceptions of 3-month-old infants and weak
	effects on the perceptions of 5-month-old and 9-month-old infants.
	The findings support the suggestion that developmental changes in
	object perception occur slowly. These changes, and the organizational
	phenomena to which Gestalt psychology called attention, may depend
	in part on the child's developing ability to recognize objects of
	particular kinds.},
