Haith and his colleagues presented babies as young as 3 months old with attractive pictures alternating on the left and right sides of a computer screen. The pictures were shown for less than one second and followed each other after a 1 second delay. The researchers discovered that:   a. the babies seemed to show a preference for the right side of the computer screen, suggesting left-hemisphere control for the perception of pictures. b. the babies never learned to expect where the next picture would appear and would look randomly to either side of the computer screen. c. the babies seemed to expect a picture to appear, but did not specifically target a particular area of the computer screen. d. the babies learned to expect where the next picture would appear and would look, in advance, to that side of the computer screen.
