We examined infants attention to sound sequences as a function of the regularity of timing and the relative familiarity of the sequences (first five trials and last five trials). Infants attention to the regular and irregular sequences was assessed by a means of a preferential looking (listening) procedure. Infants 68 months of age listened longer to the regular sound sequences, but only during the last five trials. Infants 911 months of age did not show evidence of differential listening on the basis of sequence regularity, but their attention waned from earlier to later trials.
