Abstract

This eye-tracking study evaluated oculomotor activity in 4-month-old infants viewing novel pairs of possible and impossible objects. Impossible figures evoked greater visual interest overall and increased transitional saccades between local interior and exterior critical regions. Results suggest young infants are able to ascertain some aspects of global structural integrity.
