The only reliable predictor of the PN effect was habituation - habituation studies reported bigger PN effects, and infants that habituated faster across all studies showed bigger PN effects. No relationship between habituation and VOE. (7/n)

Instead, we found a double dissociation. The only reliable predictor of the VOE effect was infant age - younger babies show bigger VOE effects. Age didn't predict the size of the PN effect - if anything, we see the opposite. (6/n)

... and second, a measure of perceptual novelty (PN), defined as how long babies look to exp events, relative to preceding habituation events. (4/n)

Two regions in the multiple demand network, in the right frontal cortex and anterior parietal cortex, responded to surprising events regardless of domain, consistent with a domain-general orienting response. (Btw, little to no overlap between this RFC region and SMG in ind participants) (7/9)

A region in the frontoparietal physics network, the LSMG, responded selectively to surprising physical events (& not to surprising actions). It also responded to physically surprising events involving agents (e.g. agent moves through a wall) - consistent w domain-specific prediction error (5/9)

We found no evidence that regions like V1 and MT could tell the difference between exp and unexp events. This was true even though these regions responded more to visually novel events ("familiarization" videos, that set up the expectation) than visually familiar events (test outcomes). (4/9)

And/or, are they endogenously motivated to explore that stimulus?
We scanned adults looking at stimuli from the dev psych literature, using localizer tasks to target voxels engaged for visual processing, processing of physical vs social events, and internally driven attention. (3/9)
