Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Schiferl, E. I. – Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, 2008
Neuroscience research provides new models for understanding vision that challenge Betty Edwards' (1979, 1989, 1999) assumptions about right brain vision and common conventions of "realistic" drawing. Enlisting PET and fMRI technology, neuroscience documents how the brains of normal adults respond to images of recognizable objects and scenes.…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Duckman, Robert; Tulloch, Deborah – 1984
Relationships between infant visual skills and the development of object permanence and expressive language skills were examined with 31 infants in three groups: visually typical, visually atypical, and Down Syndrome. Measures used to evaluate visual status were: forced preferential looking, optokinetic nystagmus, and behavioral. Object permanence…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sodian, Beate; Thoermer, Claudia; Metz, Ulrike – Developmental Science, 2007
Twelve- and 14-month-old infants' ability to represent another person's visual perspective (Level-1 visual perspective taking) was studied in a looking-time paradigm. Fourteen-month-olds looked longer at a person reaching for and grasping a new object when the old goal-object was visible than when it was invisible to the person (but visible to the…

Vision Training - A New Developmental Concept in Child Vision.
Schaffel, Adrienne – 1968
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the parents' role in their child's visual guidance program, the philosophies behind the program, and the teacher's responsibility to child vision. The first chapter, on parent involvement, instructs them to provide an environment to stimulate intellectual growth and stresses the importance of the…

A Comparison of Monocular and Binocular Depth Perception in 5- and 7-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Granrud, Carl E.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Compares monocular depth perception with binocular depth perception in five- to seven-month-old infants. Reaching preferences (dependent measure) observed in the monocular condition indicated sensitivity to monocular depth information. Binocular viewing resulted in a far more consistent tendency to reach for the nearer object. (Author)

Perceptual Development: Visual, Auditory, and Speech Perception in Infancy. Studies in Developmental Psychology.
Slater, Alan, Ed. – 1998
The development of sensory and perceptual ability in infants is an important area of infancy research. This book reflects current knowledge of perceptual development and points to some of the many questions that remain unanswered. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1, "How the Visual System Develops: Normal and Abnormal…
