We should like to express our thanks to Dr. Lloyd, Miss Hynes, Miss Smith and Miss Archibald at the Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, and Professor Brant and the maternity staff at University College Hospital London for making generous provisions for us to conduct the work reported as Experiments 1 and 2. We also thank Alison Green, Pauline Hopson, Tara Keenan, Julie Phillips and Jon Bartrip for assistance with the collecting of data and scoring of video tapes, and Warwick Smith for designing and maintaining the “moving chair” apparatus involved in Experiment 3. Sue Carey and Annette Karmiloff-Smith provided useful comments on the manuscript. Finally, we wish to thank the subjects and their parents for their co-operation. Mark Johnson is now at Department of Psychology, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890, U.S.A.
