Infants of 12 mo. were familiarized in the dark with an object of either a hard or an elastic (spongy) substance. Following 60 s of manipulation, a visual preference test was given with simultaneous presentation of 2 films of identical objects, 1 moving in a pattern characteristic of a rigid object and 1 moving in a pattern characteristic of an elastic object. Infants handled the 2 substances differently in an appropriate manner and looked preferentially with more and longer first looks to the type of substance familiarized. A replication of this experiment with familiarization in the light yielded comparable results. A 3rd experiment with 1-mo.-old infants allowed them to mouth objects of either a hard or a soft substance for haptic familiarization and then tested looking preferences with real objects moving rigidly or deforming. These infants looked longer at the object moving in a manner characteristic of the novel substance. Apparently, quite young infants detect intermodal invariants specifying some substances and perceive the affordance of the substance.
