The ULBabyLab recently evidenced that 8 to 12 month-old infants are able to learn associations between where an interesting object is located, based on its surrounding context. The results of two studies, conducted by Julie Bertels, Estibaliz San Anton, Titia Gebuis and Arnaud Destrebecqz, have been recently published in Developmental Science.
