Research Abstract

With behavioral experiments, this study examined infants' ability to perceive depth from various visual cues. The results suggested that young infants who didn't show the ability to perceive depth from pictorial cues in the reaching task could perceive depth in looking behavior. It was also suggested that 6-7-month-old infants could transfer 3D shape perception across different pictorial depth cues, and 6-month-old infants could perceive depth from vertical disparity.
