Document Summary

They found that there were simple cells that responded to a bar, they were able to map out the visual system they looked at what happened with new born cats in their visual systems. They looked at what happened if there wasn"t info from one eye, would the cat still have the same depth perception. If you limit info to only one eye, the part of the brain responsible for binocular vision wont develop. Theres a critical period in which if the brain doesn"t get that info, theres a permanent problem. Perception: how our brain makes sense to the world. We make adjustments in our brain so that the world makes sense. Can be a correlational study-because you"re not controlling for all the variables.
