| Popis: | Ten human newborns were shown a homogeneous black visual field and ten newborns were shown a large black triangle on a white field. Ocular orientation to within approximately ±5° of visual angle was measured by scoring infrared photographs of corneal reflections. The infants showed much less disperison of scanning in the presence of the triangle than in the presence of the homogeneous field. Moreover, ocular orientations were directed toward a vertex of the presented triangle. The results were related to Hebb's theory of perceptual development, to analyzer theories of discrimination, and to studies of complexity and preference in the human newborn. |
