Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Studies of sensory and perceptual abilities in infants require creative, innovative techniques. Although the young infant's response repertoire may appear limited to the naive individual, a number of highly refined procedures have been developed and implemented with these non-verbal humans over the last twenty years. The most successful protocols for evaluating visual development rely either on behavioral responses or on electrophysiological recordings. The first published report using visual evoked potentials to study the development of pattern vision in human infants was presented by M. Russell Harter. This work provided the impetus for a wealth of studies exploring issues of visual information processing abilities in early infancy. The available range of data and experimental techniques are now sufficiently refined that many clinical issues are currently being addressed. The purpose of this review is to document the evolution of scientific studies since Harter's seminal work. The selection of protocols presented focuses on those with either current clinical applications or those which hold promise for future applications in the evaluation and treatment issues of abnormal visual development. |
