Individual Differences in Infant Visual Attention: Are Short Lookers Faster Processors or Feature Processors?.

Individual differences in the duration of infants'visual fixations are reliable and stable and have been linked to differential cognitive performance; short-looking infants typically perform better than long-looking infants. 4 experiments tested the possibility of whether short lookers'superiority on perceptual-cognitive tasks is attributable to attention to the featural details of visual stimuli, or simply to differences in the speed or efficiency of visual processing
