Abstract
Reaching behavior in eighteen- to thirty-two-week-old infants was studied as a function of binocular convergence. The infant looked at the object to be reached for through prism arrangements which changed convergence only. The reaches obtained were nearly always directed at the virtual object defined by convergence. Corrections of the reaches, if any, were made rather late and often not before the hand arrived at the place of the virtual object.Keywords
