Non‐nutritive sucking in human infants aged 9–13 weeks produces buffering by reducing visual scanning movements in the presence of movement‐invoking cinematic visual displays of both representational and abstract types. Scanning is correlated with movement in a display without the presence of sucking to buffer it.
