Card 3 / 54: In one study (from Woodward, 1998), 3-month olds and 6-month olds repeatedly saw a person reach for an object (ball) on the left and not reach for a teddy bear on the right. Then, they saw a display in which the teddy bear was on the left, and the ball on the right. The person either reached for the teddy bear on the left (same action, new object) or the ball on the right (same object, new action). Looking time was used as a measure to infer how the 3-month olds and 6-month olds interpreted the relation between the initial habituation phase and the subsequent changed test phases. The results indicated
A) both 3-month olds and 6-month olds looked longer when the person grabbed a new object than when the person made a new action
B) both 3-month olds and 6-month olds looked longer when the person made a new action than when the person grabbed a new object
C) 3-month olds looked longer when the person made a new action, but 6- month olds looked longer when the person grabbed a new object
D) 6-month olds looked longer when the person made a new action, but 3- month olds looked longer when the person grabbed a new object
