This study examined the effect of manipulative experiences on object choice in infants. In Experiment 1, subjects were given opportunities to manipulate a big object (difficclt to grasp) and a small object (easy to grasp) successively, and before and after the two manipulative trials, they were presented with these two objects in pairs in order to test their preferences. The results were as follows ; 7, 8-month-old infants had a tendency to choose a big one, which was independent of their manipulative experiences. 9, 10-month-old infants tended to choose a smaller one after manipulative trials, tendency considered related to manipulative experiences. But such tendency was observed only for the pairs which infants had opportunities to manipulate. In Experiment 2, 9, 10-month-old infants were given the same two objects as in Experiment 1, but these were covered with transparent cups during manipulative trials. In such condition, infants didn't show a tendency to choose a small object after manipulative trials. These results lead to the conclusion that manipulative experiences had an effect on 9, 10-month-old infants'object choice.
