Can 6-month-old infants process causality in different types of causal events?

Two experiments investigated 6-month-old infants' processing of causal and noncausal events with the habituation/dishabituation technique. Experiment 1 was carried out with the usual launching events. Results showed that 6-mo nth-old infants can recognize the presence of causality embedded in a direc t launching event. Experiment 2 was carried out with a previously univestig ated type of causal event: the entraining event. Results showed that 6-mont h-old infants could nor process causality through a direct entraining event . Findings are discussed in terms of compatibility with a modular or an inf ormation-processing framework.
