N2  - Schlesinger (in press) recently proposed a model of
eye movements as a tool for investigating infants?
visual expectations. In the present study, this gaze-direction
model was evaluated by (a) generating a set
of predictions concerning how infants distribute their
attention during possible and impossible events, and
(b) testing these predictions in a replication of
Baillargeon?s "car study" (1986; Baillargeon &
DeVos, 1991). We find that the model successfully
predicts general features of infants? gaze direction,
but not specific differences obtained during the
possible and impossible events. The implications of
these results for infant cognition research and theory
are discussed.
