Abstract

Most studies of visual development in human infants rely on one of two measures of visual functioning; behavioral or electrophysiological testing. Each of these techniques has been successfully used to evaluate spatial vision in infants [for reviews see: Dobson (1994); Hartmann (1995); Zemon, Eisner, Gordon, Grose-Fifer, Shoup & Tenedios (1995)]. We recently described a new, objective visual evoked potential (VEP) technique for assessing the development of spatial vision (Zemon, Hartmann, Gordon & Prünte-Glowazki, 1997). Our initial report included data from a total of 20 participants: 10 infants and 10 older observers between the ages of 4 and 33 years, most of whom were 16 to 19 years of age. The purpose of this paper is to provide additional data from a larger group of infants at one age range. These data further document the application of our procedure with infants and provide an initial set of norms for one age group.
