Abstract

We investigated 6- to 12-month-old infants’ ability to track an object moving on circular trajectories, using a longitudinal design. Consistent predictive gaze tracking was not found before 8 months of age. These results indicate that infants’ horizontal and vertical components of circular tracking are less mature than expected from previous studies of one-dimensional horizontal tracking. Vertical components are especially immature, particularly during high velocity tracking (~20°/s). The results also suggest that horizontal and vertical tracking are mutually dependent during early development. Saccades were predictive (average lag >−125 ms) from 6 months onwards.

Infants did not display sustained attention for long periods during pursuit of slow velocity trajectories (0.05 and 0.1 Hz). Because no other studies have reported on low velocity 2-D tracking it is important to allow a liberal inclusion criterion and include 0.1 Hz in the analysis. A similar criterion has previously been applied to 9-month-old infants (Gredebäck et al. 2002)

Filtering the data with ± two samples after originally sampling the data at 60 Hz and recording it at 80 Hz will result in an inability to measure microsaccades. Similar procedures have been used by von Hofsten and Rosander (1996, 1997)
