Perceiving objects within the vision sense is interesting to me as it explains the process of infants being able to relate to the world. When I see an object I am able to see where it begins and where it ends and how much it actually interacts with the environment. As you are growing up from infancy you are not able to recognize the different depths of an object and how much in reality it is different from other similar objects you have seen previously. As perception is developed through infancy a child is able to recognize patterns, 3-D shapes and the differences in the linear perspective within an item. For example, my goddaughter Emma is 7 months old and she is starting to show signs of perception as when she sees toys on the floor, she moves around them and shows interest in how the object belongs together. For the visual system to be fully matured, an infant must to be able to recognize differences in perception to be able to familiarize itself with the different items in the world. The visionary aspect of infancy is very critical for the development of a child as they start to mature they must be careful with the dangers associated with hitting age milestones and being able to perceive object gives them the right tools to access the …show more content…
As the book states a study in regards to perceiving objects consists of “infants are habituated to an object moving behind a screen (A). In test trials, they are shown either an image of a whole object (B) or an image of that object with the middle missing (C). Dishabituation to C suggests that infants perceived A as showing a single, coherent object” (Gross, 168). Movement has an effect on how objects are perceived as it shows differences between the different characteristics of each item which correlates to how these objects were seen as urinary. As infants grow older their ability to perceive an object increases enough to perceive it as a urinary object. Another study that correlates to perceiving objects was done in 2013 by Trix Cacchione and this researched how infants from 8-12 months old were able to further represent an object fragmented into two or more parts. The study consisted of four experiments, where infants had to track and quantify crackers split into multiple pieces. The study concluded that infants successfully trace the displacement of fragmented objects but their processing of size may be affected. This suggests that contrary to recent claims infants are able to appreciate the continuity of fragmented objects (Cacchione, 2003, p.
