Instead, research has focused on an attempt to trace the gradual or continuous evolution of particular perceptual skills through development. Touch and pain, smell and taste, motion and balance: touch and pain. The effects of early exposure to pain might have possible long-term consequences, including possible effects on brain development: exposure to pain results in damage to development of neurons, these neuronal changes have behavioral consequences, potential increase to.

End of first year, infants can recognize a familiar object by exploration.
