English term or phrase: As early as we can test
As early as we can test, decide to look twice as long at the magic or the unexpected event.

It's not very high-tech experiment, but it's extremely powerful because as early as we can test, infants have this expectation that an unsupported object should fall.

I know that's "as early as" used usually for dates and time, to means not before this hour or date, but I didn't get the meaning here. Babies age is 4 months old.

Thanks in advance,

Quote ;Research on infants’ reasoning abilities often rely on ****looking times, ****which are longer to surprising and **unexpected ***visual scenes compared to unsurprising and expected ones. Few researchers have examined more precise visual scanning patterns in these scenes, and so, here, we recorded 8- to 11-month-olds’ gaze with an eye tracker as we presented a sampling event whose outcome was either surprising, neutral, or ***unsurprising***
