    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Infants’ ability to detect and generalize abstract rules (e.g.,\nABB, ABA) in auditory stimuli has been well documented,\nhowever their ability to do so from visual stimuli has received\nconsiderably less attention. Moreover, the few studies\nreported suggest that this kind of learning is especially\nsensitive to details of the experimental design. Here, we focus\non 3- to 4-month-old infants (N=40) to identify both the\norigins of visual abstract rule learning in infancy and the\nconditions that best support it. Our results provide the earliest\nevidence to date, documenting that by 3 months of age,\ninfants successfully learn and generalize rules in the visual\nmodality. They also reveal that providing infants with an\nopportunity to examine the stimuli simultaneously may be\ninstrumental to their success.",
