ABSTRACT
Newly born babies are fairly inscrutable. It is very hard to know what they experience as they look around at the new world in which they find themselves. Is their world really 'one big blooming buzzing confusion' as William James and his con temporaries thought at the beginning of this century, or is there some organisation of their percepts? For example, do babies link what they see with what they hear? As adults we typically coordinate all our senses. We will, for instance, look toward the sound of a moving car in case we have to get out of its way. It is of interest to know whether newborn babies can exhibit such perceptual coordination or whether they need to learn or mature to do so.
