Abstract
There is evidence for the late development in humans of configural face and animal recognition. We show that the recognition of artificial three-dimensional (3D) objects from part configurations develops similarly late. We also demonstrate that the cross-modal integration of object information reinforces the development of configural recognition more than the intra-modal integration does. Multimodal object representations in the brain may therefore play a role in configural object recognition. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
