Biological programming 1 of 32 In terms of visual perception what does acuity mean? Sharpness of vision 2 of 32 How is acuity determined? How quickly eye muscles are able to contract and relax to allow eye to focus 3 of 32 In terms of visual perception what is binocular vision? Ability to perceive depth 4 of 32 Why do newborns not have good binocular vision? Their eyes don't move together as well 5 of 32 There are two key perceptual abilities babies develop. What are they? Facial recognition and depth perception 6 of 32 How does an infants ability to recognise faces change? Their experiences in the environment 7 of 32 What do monocular cues include? Motion parallax and size + shape consistency 8 of 32 What is habituation based on in terms of perception in infants? Based on idea infants will get bored of looking at familiar stimuli but show interest in new 9 of 32 How is preferential looking tested in perception in infants? 2 objects presented and researcher observes and records which ones they look at the most 10 of 32 'Selective Rearing' is the method used to study perception in animals? What does this entail? Raising an animal from birth under controlled conditions to observe the outcome 11 of 32 In Gibson & Walk's key research how many infants were studied? 36 infants 12 of 32 What other animals were tested? Cats, rats, goats, sheep, turtles and chickens 13 of 32 In Human trials how was the baby lured into going on the cliff edge?

They had been reared in darkness for 27 days 15 of 32 What alterations were performed in control trials? Changes to the light and pattern of material under glass 16 of 32 How were these changes assessed? Through the behaviour of rats 17 of 32 How many babies moved to the deep side of the cliff? 3 18 of 32 What did some babies do yet still not go on the cliff edge?

How was this shown? Innate, day old chicks showed strong preference for shallow side 25 of 32 Give 2 conclusions of this key research Nature & nurture influence depth perception and humans and other animals develop depth perception by onset of mobility 26 of 32 In terms of application of key research how can it be used with people who have sensory and perceptual difficulties? Interventions can be designed to improve visual and auditory perception 27 of 32 What is this known as? Sensory integrative therapy 28 of 32 How can this key research be looked at from a nature perspective? humans born equipped with innate motion parallax and perception 29 of 32 How can this key research be looked at from a nurture perspective? In womb babies are exposed to different surroundings 30 of 32 How can this research be seen from a deterministic view? Innate qualities and factors could emerge from cultural settings 31 of 32 What part of the application of research could be considered holistic and why? Sensory Integrative therapy because involves assessment of whole person 32 of 32
