Original title: the origin of form perception. Original place of publication: n/a: questions addressed in original study: (list the 2 5 most important questions addressed in the original study) What can infants percieve and to what degree of complexity can they understand this form: findings of original study: (list the 2 5 most important findings of the original study) Before learning or experiencing anything, chicks are able to percief form in order to find food and survive. Infants prefer and stare longer at the objects with greater complexity. Infants showed greater interest in forms that represent a human face because they depend on these faces to take care of them. These findings help understand the developmental and cognitive psychology of infants that researchers like renee baillargeon at the university of illionois"s infant cognition. Lab and elizabeth spelke at harvard"s laboratory for developmental studies use to clarify their studies.
