Infant response to impending optical collision.

Young infants withdraw their heads when shown a display simulating a rectangle rotating towards their faces. The head withdrawal is specific to that transformation and is not elicited by a similar transformation which does not specify approach. This is possible evidence of an unlearned ability to pick up information about change of position in the third dimension.

Distance Perception↗

Reaching in the dark.

Reaching for noise-making objects presented in darkness declines, then recovers, during infancy. The most probable explanation of this U-shaped function would seem to involve changes in reaching, changes in the perception of success, and changes in the body schema. There is no need to postulate any U-shaped change within the auditory system.
