Document Summary
Ch 3 coming to perceive the world. Lots of perceptual development occurs in the first year of life. Feedback loops: how mechanisms of developmental changes occur between infant and environment new experiences change the way infant"s process future experiences. Growth in the cortex = higher-resolution pattern perception. Vision = illustrates the differences between sensation and perception sensation = register sensory info as it"s taken in. Human visual system receives info in the form of light two eyes iris lens. Cornea retina with a 2d, light-sensitive surface optic nerve that carries visual info from retina to the brain. Research shows that visual perception requires specialized processing capacities. Adults can perceive differences in brightness by 1%, whereas infants can"t see all the differences until they develop more. Infants might prefer looking at some displays more than others showing that they can differentiate between the two things.
