As we concluded regarding acuity, these limitations of early vision would be expected to affect pickup of fine spatial details. Minute textural variation and subtle gradations of intensity may not be visible to the young infant. Perception of ordinary objects and events in well-lit environments is not greatly limited by contrast sensitivity. Mechanisms of Development in Contrast Sensitivity and Acuity An elegant means of quantifying early visual capacities, tracking changes, and inferring the mechanisms of developmental change is the ideal observer analysis (Geisler, 1984, 2011), pioneered in the study of infant vision by Banks and colleagues (Banks & Bennett, 1988; Banks & Dannemiller, 1987; Banks, Geisler, & Bennett, 1987; Banks & Shannon, 1993).
Sensory maturation in human infants has implications for early perception, for development in general, and, as a practical matter, for attempts to study infants’ capabilities. THE HUMAN INFANT’S NERVOUS SYSTEM Linking the infant’s physiology to sensory and perceptual functioning is a difficult undertaking. We are limited by what is known about physiology and perhaps even more by our modest knowledge about how structures and events in the nervous system carry out perceptual processing. On the behavioral side, measures of sensory and perceptual function in infants are somewhat blunt instruments.
Consider a few of Müller’s doctrines (Müller, 1838/1965): Development of Perception in Infancy 16 of perception by cognitive scientists. Specifically, it is often assumed that the senses deliver some raw or uninterpreted data that is then worked into meaningful form by cognitive processing, incorporating expectations and prior knowledge (“top- down” processing) to obtain the result. Constructivism: Dissent and Modernization Problems with the classical constructivist view have often been noted.
