Description
Oxford University Press The Developing Visual Brain by Dr. Janette Atkinson
One of the most dramatic areas of development in early human life is that of vision. Whereas vision plays a relatively minor role in the world of the newborn infant by 6 months it has assumed the position as a dominant sense and forms the basis of later perceptual cognitive and social development.
From a world leader in the study of visual development in human infants comes a major new work condensing a lifetime of work in this area The developing visual brain. Drawing on over 20 years of cutting edge research in the Visual Develoment Units in Cambridge and University College London the book provides the definitive account of what we know about the developing visual system and the problems that can occur during development. The book reviews evaluates and sets in context the
exciting progress being made in this area and additionally suggests new areas for research.
Written to be accessible for advanced undergraduates graduate students and researchers in psychology the neurosciences optometry and visual science The developing visual brain represents an important new addition to the literature on vision.
