Beyond U-Shaped Development in Infants' Processing of Faces: An Information-Processing Account (2004, background): “Classic research on infants’ perception of object unity in the occluded rod paradigm represents another example (Kellman & Spelke, 1983).”
Developmental origin of the animate-inanimate distinction. (2001, background): “…for instance, there is evidence that by six months of age infants are sensitive to motion-carried information for depth perception, the segregation of figure from ground, and the perception of object properties (e.g., Arteberry, Craton, & Yonas, 1993; Kellman & Spelke, 1983; Nanez & Yonas, 1994).”
Dark, Beyond Deep: A Paradigm Shift to Cognitive AI with Humanlike Common Sense (2020, background): “Other studies have shown that humans are highly sensitive to whether objects in a scene violate certain understood physical relationships or appear to be physical unstable [91, 92, 93, 94, 95].”
Perceptual Learning, Cognition, and Expertise (2013, unknown): “…indicating that perceptual systems deliver ecologically meaningful descriptions, even from birth (Bushnell, Sai, & Mullin, 1989; Held, 1985; Kellman & Spelke, 1983; Meltzoff & Moore, 1977; Slater, Mattock, & Brown, 1990; Walk & Gibson, 1961; for a review, see Kellman & Arterberry, 1998).”

IntPhys: A Framework and Benchmark for Visual Intuitive Physics Reasoning (2018, background): “At 2-4 months, infants are able to parse visual inputs in terms of permanent, solid and spatiotemporally continuous objects ([29], [65]).”
Psychological and Sociomoral Reasoning in Infancy (2014, unknown): “…1980s, a revolution took place in infancy research as investigators began to adapt available looking-time methods to explore young infants’ physical world (e.g., Baillargeon, Spelke, & Wasserman, 1985; Kellman & Spelke, 1983; Leslie, 1984; for a review, see Baillargeon, Li, Gertner, & Wu, 2011).”
Mental Models in Conceptual Development (2002, background): “Other experiments suggest that 4-month-old infants understand that surfaces move together only if they are in contact and independently only if they are separated ( Kellman & Spelke, 1983; Kellman, Spelke & Short, 1986).”
Holistic++ Scene Understanding: Single-View 3D Holistic Scene Parsing and Human Pose Estimation With Human-Object Interaction and Physical Commonsense (2019, background): “ing occlusions [43, 20], tracking small objects even if contained by other objects [10], realizing object permanence [2], recognizing rational HOI [46, 37], understanding intuitive physic [11, 29, 1], and using exploratory play to understand the environment [42].”
Stepping off the pendulum: Why only an action-based approach can transcend the nativist–empiricist debate (2013, methodology): “With the seminal application of looking methodologies to the notion of object permanence (Kellman & Spelke, 1983), the Anti-Piagetian strategy was applied to infant populations in an effort to demonstrate the “presence” of certain competencies so early in development that no (non-nativist) account…”
