VISUAL ACCOMMODATION IN HUMAN INFANTS.

By the technique of dynamic retinoscopy, we found that the alert newborn infant can focus his eye on targets only at a particular distance (median, 19 centimeters). Images of targets nearer or farther away are proportionately blurred. However, during the first few postnatal months the range of flexible accommodation increases and approximates adult performance by the 4th month.

Motor-sensory feedback and the geometry of visual space.

Normal surroundings appear curved when viewed through wedge prism eyeglasses. But prolonged viewing of uniformly curved lines makes them appear less curved. An environment specially patterned to prevent the appearance of curvature when viewed through a prism made possible the demonstration of change in apparent curvature wholly dependent upon the visual feedback accompanying self-produced movement of the prism-wearer.
