Abstract
Two experiments investigated the role fo continuity cues in infants' perception of launching events as causal. Experiment 1 showed that 7-month-old infants can use spatial and temporal contiguity ot perceive causality: Infants who were habituated to a causal event dishabituated to novel noncausal events, in which either spatial or temporal contiguity was violated, and those who were habituated to a noncausal event dishabituated to a novel causal but not a novel noncausal event. Experiment 2 showed that 10-month-olds, but not 7-month-olds, perceived the causality of lauching events in which the objects moved along different paths
