摘要
Discrimination of the speeds of two adjacent moving bars was studied in 20-week-old infants. Speeds ranging from 2 to 10°/s were used. Logistic regression was used to predict the side of the screen with the faster moving bar given the multiple observed dependent variables on each trial. Group psychometric functions showed approximate Weber fractions for speed discrimination near .35 at 3.3°/s and .67 at 10.0°/s. The results provide psychophysical evidence for speed discrimination by 20-week-olds and are discussed in terms of their implications for various visuomotor functions. © 1991.
