Infants aged 2 moths and older can discriminate
patterns similar to adults - even highly complex ones;
Pattern Perception infants from 0-2 months can only discriminate
moderately complex patterns (high contrast;
curvilinear rather than linear patterns)
Newborn infants track face-like patterns; By 2-4

Perception of Faces
scrambled ones; fixate on internal parts of faces
instead of just the edge

of cliffs? (Depth put baby in middle of cliff/put mother on deep or
Perception) shallow side/have mother call baby
Gibson's findings: found that infants could avoid deep
Visual Cliffs - What side shortly after they started to crawl; concluded
happens? that babies could see and understand depth without
learning
Study by Bertental et al. (1984); Believe experience
with self-locomotion is necessary for children to avoid
How does fear of depth depth: put kids in walkers to give them experience
develop? with locomotion/ infants with walker show an
avoidance reaction to depth more so than control
infants without a walker
Infants hear well; startle at/turn away from loud
noises; turn towards softer sounds; general areas
Auditory Perception
studied: recognizing voices, reactions to speech and
language
