Hearing changes that take place during infancy involve

Infants show an interest in
________human faces soon after birth and prefer to look at faces rather than other objects.
Visual cliff study
________ was designed to test depth perception and visual expectations.
Hearing begins in
the womb.
In the first two months of postnatal development,
infants don’t perceive obstructed objects as complete, instead perceiving only what is visible.
Use of ‘binocular cues’ by age 3 to 4 months suggests
depth perception even before infants can crawl.
At birth the nerves and muscles and lens of the eye
are still developing.
Visual acuity and color in newborns
improve over time.
Newborns respond to
touch and can feel pain.
Hearing is one of the keys to
language development
Visual acuity varies from
20/240 to 20/640.
Head movement indicates
some vision.
Sensitivity to taste is present
even before birth.
Over the first several months of age, infants begin to prefer
salty tastes.
In terms of hearing, changes that take place during infancy involve
perception of volume, pitch, localization.
Infants also show a preference for
attractive, smiling faces
What kind of objects do infants prefer?
Familiar over unfamiliar objects
In the visual cliff study, did infants crawl over the edge?
Infants did not crawl over the edge.
Newborns can differentiate
odors
In the visual cliff study, it was concluded that
