Abstract | The present study explored the dimensionality of infant cognition by factor analyzing measures from a battery of tasks administered to a large cohort of 7-month-old preterm and full-term infants (N=203). A principal axis factor analysis yielded three factors accounting for 37[percent] of the variance. There was one attention factor (look duration and shift rate), one speed factor (reaction time), and one memory factor (immediate recognition). The results indicate that infant cognition is better characterized as multidimensional than as unitary, and support the idea that many of the tasks used in infancy tap discrete elementary abilities.
