Abstract
Newborn infants were familiarized to a display which contained multipl e cues that specified the completeness or coherence of a partly concea led object. However, the findings from test trials suggested that obje ct unity had not been perceived. Possible reasons for the newborn's li mitations, and of age changes in perception of object unity, are discu ssed.
