Document Summary
In those areas, research and theory building regarding perceptual development tends to focus on normative and continuous qualities. The work of robert fantz: study of infant sensory capabilities has been challenging since babies cannot readily communicate with researchers. An experiment: the visual cliff: an experiment by joseph campos. Study on relationship between biological factors and environmental influences in the development of early emotions: emotions are a road to the study of development. Piaget suggesting experience is required while the gibson"s propose innate coordination: both theories have some support. Older children: attention: attention and action: external stimuli do not just bombard a passive recipient. Rather, the mind selects that to which it will attend, admitting some information and excluding other: researchers are interested in the interaction between perception and action. In general, children become more careful, more flexible, and less distractible in searching for and gathering information.
