Discuss what is known about infant visual acuity and color perception
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
+ Visual acuity:
- Newborns and one-month-olds see at 20 feet what normal adults see at 200 to 400 feet.
- Infant visual acuity is about the same as a normal adult's by one year of age.
+ Color perception:
- Infants detect wavelength — and therefore color — with specialized neurons called cones that are in the retina of the eye.
- Neural circuitry for perceiving color gradually begins to function in the first few months after birth.
- Newborns can perceive few colors, but by three months can see the full range of colors.
