A pensioner accused of causing the death of a baby boy by careless driving will say she had undiagnosed Alzheimer's disease at the time and will mount a defence of insanity, a court has heard

"The issue in this case is whether or not Mrs Robertson was suffering from insanity as it's recognised by law," he said. He said the disrupted thinking could either be that as she drove the car she"didn't know what she was doing" or that she"didn't know that what she was doing was wrong by the standards of reasonable people".
He said the incident was captured by dashcam footage and Mr Freestone was driving"properly, sensibly and within the speed limit", which at the time was 50mph."He saw the pushchair, heard thumps, saw the woman with the pushchair go up in the air," he said.

Seven-month-old infants detect symmetrical structures in multi-featured abstract visual patternsThe present study investigated 7-month-old infants’ ability to perceive structural symmetry in mosaic-like abstract visual patterns. We examined infants’ (n=98) spontaneous looking behaviour to mosaic-like sequences with symmetrical and asymmetrical structures. Sequences were composed of square tiles from two categories that differed in their colour scheme and internal shape. We manipulated sequence length (3 or 5 tiles) and abstractness of the symmetry (token vs. category level). The 7-month-olds discriminated structurally symmetrical from asymmetrical mosaics in the first half of the test phase (first 8 trials). Sequence length, level of symmetry, or number of unique tiles per sequence did not significantly modulate infants’ looking behaviour. These results suggest that very young infants detect differences in structural symmetry in multi-featured visual patterns.
