Binocular Disparity as a Discriminable Stimulus Parameter for Young Infants

Appel, Margaret A.; Campos, Joseph J.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 23, 1, 47-56, Feb 77

The ability of forty 8-week-old infants to discriminate between projected-stereograms with and without retinal disparity was tested with an habituation-dishabituation paradigm. Results were interpreted as indicating that the infants could discriminate between stimuli when the only difference between them was binocular disparity. (MS)
