Why is human vision so poor in early development? The impact of initial sensitivity to low spatial frequencies on visual category learning

2022-06-23

Abstract excerpt

Humans are born with very low contrast sensitivity, meaning that developing infants experience the world “in a blur”. Is this solely a byproduct of maturational processes or is there some functional advantage for beginning life with poor vision? We explore whether reduced visual acuity as a consequence of low contrast sensitivity facilitates the acquisition of basic-level visual categories and, if so, whether thi...
