Visual experiences unique to early infancy provide building blocks of human vision, IU study finds - EurekAlert


<p>What do infants see?&nbsp; What do they look at?&nbsp;The answers to these questions are very different for the youngest babies than they are for older infants, children and adults. Characterized by a few high-contrast edges in simple patterns, these early scenes also contain the very materials needed to build a strong foundation for human vision.</p> <p>That is the finding of a new study, &ldquo;An edge-simplicity bias in the visual input to young infants,&rdquo; published on May 10 in <em>Science Advances</em> by IU researchers Erin Anderson, Rowan Candy, Jason Gold and Linda Smith.</p>
