"I was curious about websites because we’re now
beginning to accumulate websites and we were thinking about using a website
service so it makes it very simple just to find it, click it, ship it and we have
archival access to it. But the problem of course is these websites are so
complicated and you don’t actually know what you’re fully accessing because there
are lots of links; there are lots of portions that may go unexamined. Have you had
any experiences with websites that are essentially transnational, that are essentially
built in this country but linked to things that are governed by laws outside of U.S.

Size matters: How age and reaching experiences shape infants’ preferences for different sized objects
Looking and reaching preferences for different-sized objects were examined in 4–5- and 5–6-month-old infants. Infants were presented with pairs of different sized cylinders and preferences were analyzed by age and reaching status. Outcome variables included looking and touching time for each object, first look, and first touch. Significant three-way interactions with age and reaching status were found for both infants’ looking and touching duration. Four–5- and 5–6-month-olds with less reaching experience spent more time visually and manually exploring larger objects. In contrast, 5–6-month-olds with more reaching experience spent more time looking at and touching smaller objects, despite a first look and first touch preference for the largest object. Initially, looking and reaching preferences seem to be driven by mechanisms responding to general visual salience independent of an object’s potential for manual action. Once reaching skills emerge, infants begin to use visual information to selectively choose smaller, more graspable objects as exploration targets
