Publication Type: Individual Poster Abstract: Aim: In vertical position and without visual context 5-month-old infants present the classic “oblique effect”: They can discriminate vertical (0°)- 10°-left oblique rods but cannot discriminate 20°- left oblique and 30°- left oblique rods. The present research addressed the question of the influence of visual contextual cues on oblique effect in the haptic mode in 5-month-old infants. Method: Forty 5-month-old infants participated to the experiment. A 60 sec duration familiarization / reaction to novelty procedure was used in the haptic mode. The familiarized orientation rod was either vertical (0°) or oblique (20°-left). A visual panel composed of alternate black and white strips and inclined of 20° on the left side was presented in front of the infants during the whole experiment. As a consequence, during the familiarization phase, the visual panel orientation was either congruent with the rod orientation (20°) or not congruent (0°). A large white cloth prevented infants from seeing their shoulder-hand systems and the display. Half of the infants (20) were familiarized with the vertical rod and the other half with the 20°-left oblique rod. During the test phase, two orientations were presented successively in alternating manner during four trials and in a counterbalanced order: the Familiar orientation (0° or 20°) and the Novel orientation (10° or 30°). Results: A 2(Group: familiarization 0° or 20°) x 2(Trial pairs: B1 vs B2)) x 2(Test: Familiar vs novel) ANOVA on the holding times in seconds was conducted. The analyses revealed a significant interaction Group x Test (F(1,36) = 3.95 < .054). After a familiarization with the 0°- rod, this orientation was hold a longer time than the 10°-rod (M = 22.93 sec > M = 14.24 sec). After a familiarization with the 20°-left oblique rod, the 30°-orientation was hold a longer time than the 20°-rod (M = 22.58 sec > M = 13.36 sec). Conclusions: 1. The preference for the 0°-rod supports results found in two earlier experiments. 2. The haptic oblique effect found in the upright posture disappeared when an oblique visual context was present. The visual contextual cues permitted infants to perceive more precisely the oblique orientations when they were congruent with the visual context. These findings were discussed in the context of multisensory integration.
