Abstract
Infants aged 8 months were trained to anticipate the occurrence of an event at a fixed spatial location that was indicated by a visual landmark. During training they were rotated from one direction of facing to another on the opposite side of the event site, so that its localization required a turn in the reverse direction. The effects of the landmark and body movement information were assessed on test trials from a third direction of facing. Looking first towards the event site and duration of looking at it were controlled by the presence of the landmark both when its localization required a turn in the opposite direction from body reorientation and in the same direction. At this age infants rely primarily on visual cues for spatial orientation.
