Discussion

Cross-sectional analysis demonstrates increased visuocortical responses for trained objects, suggesting developmental changes in infants.

Visuocortical responses favor trained objects, indicating enhanced processing as infants age.
At 9 and 12 months, infants showed significantly stronger responses to trained objects compared to untrained ones.
Training to recognize novel objects leads to competitive interactions, with older infants prioritizing learned items.
The findings suggest that object recognition develops in infants as they gain experience with specific stimuli.

Boylan et al. (2025) studied this question.
