Comments on: Infant Visual Stimulation Revisited http://trixieupdate.com/2003/09/08/infant-visual-stimulation-revisited/ Keep track of the new kid Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:57:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: schaff http://trixieupdate.com/2003/09/08/infant-visual-stimulation-revisited/#comment-54 schaff Tue, 09 Sep 2003 17:52:11 +0000 http://www.trixieupdate.com/wp/2003/09/08/infant-visual-stimulation-revisited/#comment-54 As Bower et al (1970) have shown (see link), it's likely that it wasn't so much the images that disturbed Trixie back on 8/19, but the fact you got all up in her grill. If I was a couple weeks old, I wouldn't want somebody shoving paper in my face, and even now I don't seek out this pastime. On another hand, the "visual cliff" of Gibson and Walk (1960) also demonstrated infant depth perception. But I feel that in 2003, with Xtreme Infancy currently in vogue, Trixie is ready to be tested on a "real cliff." Dad, Mom? What do you think? Anyway, just proud to have become one of the few non-Trixie humans to be mentioned in the Trixie Update.
