Question

Emily, a 7-month-old infant, is sitting on the floor in a nearly empty room. On each side of her is a television screen. Every 10 seconds, an interesting picture appears on the screen on her left. The screen on her right remains blank. Emily is then rotated so that the screen that has been showing the interesting pictures is now on her right. Where will Emily look in anticipation of the interesting picture?

Answer 1

To the Left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Emily (7 month infant) surrounded by two television screens, the screen left to her displays a picture (each 10 seconds). Then : she is rotated, screen showing pictures is now on her right.

Anticipating image on the screen , she would still look at her left. As, she is just an infant, has been accustomed to the fact - that screen on left shows the pictures. And, she is not grown up enough to analyse the implication of her direction change, on the view of television showing pictures.
