The role of perceptual factors in the solution of tool-using problems by 9-10 mo. old [human] infants was studied. The infants were presented with 7 different types of tools that varied in shape and in spatial contact with the same goal (a small fuzzy mechanical toy). The tools and the toy were either similar or different in color and/or in texture. There were strong effects of spatial configuration across color/texture conditions. Color/texture interactions suggested that a similarity in both color and texture made the problems particulary difficult to solve. A 2nd experiment separated the role of motor factors from the perceptual effect of spatial contact. On tool/goal combinations that were very similar in the motor skill involved, but distinguished by either a spatial contact or a small gap between tool and goal, the spatial contact items were significantly easier. Attention and memory processes in tool use and the role of anticipatory imagery were discussed.
