Description:
Stereoscopic depth perception was tested in human infants by a new method based on attracting the infant's attention through movement of a stereoscopic contour formed from a dynamic random-element stereogram. The results reveal that stereopsis emerges at 3 1/2 to 6 months of age, an outcome consistent with evidence for rapid postnatal development of the visual system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fox, R -- Aslin, R N -- Shea, S L -- Dumais, S T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Jan 18;207(4428):323-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7350666" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
