A later experiment with kittens raised in the dark and then placed on the visual cliff showed that depth perception was not innate in all species as the kittens would walk on either side of the visual cliff. After six days of being in the light, the kittens would avoid the deep side of the visual cliff (Rodkey, 2015).
Together they proposed perceptual learning as a process of seeing the differences in the perceptual field around an individual.

In this experiment an infant that was new to crawling was found to be sensitive to depth of an ...
A combination of 1) wanting to get the most use out of the rats along with, 2) inspiration from both Eleanor's experience with the goats and a similar previous experiment done by Lashley & Russell in 1934, [13] produced the idea of studying depth perception with the visual cliff. [12] Walk & Gibson studied visual depth perception in rats ...

Campos and his colleagues placed six week-old infants on the “deep end” of the visual cliff, the six week-old infants' heart rate decreased and a sense of fascination was seen in the infants. However, when seven month-old infants were lowered down on the same “deep end” illusion, their heart rates accelerated rapidly and they started to ...
