image: This picture is an example of the real data the authors worked with -- i.e., infant looking times recorded at infrared light during the presentation of the stimuli. In the top part, one can see different frames of an infant during the experiment. In the lower part, one can see an example of the stimuli infants saw. The frames are taken from one of the videos in the experiment, with one frame every two seconds, proceeding from right to left and from top to bottom. This image relates to an article that appeared in the 27 May 2011 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Erno Téglás of Central European University and the Hungarian Academy of Science in Budapest, Hungary, and colleagues was titled, "Pure Reasoning in 12-Month-Old Infants as Probabilistic Inference." view more
