  2. Infant visual development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_visual_development

    The aspects of human vision which develop following birth include visual acuity, tracking, color perception, depth perception, and object recognition. Unlike many other sensory systems, the human visual system – components from the eye to neural circuits – develops largely after birth, especially in the first few years of life. At birth ...

  3. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

    Some sensory modalities include: light, sound, temperature, taste, pressure, and smell. The type and location of the sensory receptor activated by the stimulus plays the primary role in coding the sensation. All sensory modalities work together to heighten stimuli sensation when necessary. [1]

    Sensory development. Focuses on things about 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) away. ... Hearing acuity can be assessed by child's correct usage of sounds and language ...

  5. Tactile discrimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_discrimination

    The second type of sensor is a high spatial resolution sensor which can be compared to a human fingertip and is essential for the tactile acuity in robotic hands. The third and final tactile sensor type is a low spatial resolution sensor which has similar tactile acuity as the skin on one's back or arm. [6]

  6. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    The newborn's visual acuity is approximately 6/133, developing to 6/6 well after the age of six months in most children, according to a study published in 2009. [36] The measurement of visual acuity in infants, pre-verbal children and special populations (for instance, disabled individuals) is not always possible with a letter chart.

  7. Sense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

    Sensory organs are organs that sense and transduce stimuli. Humans have various sensory organs (i.e. eyes, ears, skin, nose, and mouth) that correspond to a respective visual system (sense of vision), auditory system (sense of hearing), somatosensory system (sense of touch), olfactory system (sense of smell), and gustatory system (sense of taste).

  8. Object permanence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_permanence

    Object permanence is the understanding that whether an object can be sensed has no effect on whether it continues to exist.This is a fundamental concept studied in the field of developmental psychology, the subfield of psychology that addresses the development of young children's social and mental capacities.

  9. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    Most sensory systems have a quiescent state, that is, the state that a sensory system converges to when there is no input. [citation needed] This is well-defined for a linear time-invariant system, whose input space is a vector space, and thus by definition has a point of zero. It is also well-defined for any passive sensory system, that is, a ...
