Auditory and Visual Perception Development

This document discusses perceptual development in auditory and visual domains from infancy through childhood. It covers the development of hearing abilities from the ability to distinguish sounds in the womb to speech perception abilities. Visual development is also discussed, including the development of visual acuity, depth perception through various cues, and face and pattern perception abilities. Problems with auditory and visual perception are also mentioned. The document also briefly discusses intermodal perception abilities involving smell, taste, touch and pain as well as perceptual-motor development.

TOPIC 6

Perceptual
Development:
Auditory and Visual

DEVELOPMENT OF
AUDITORY PERCEPTION
Sound perception
We hear sound in terms of:
Frequency
Amplitude
Timbre
Development of auditory:
localisation
sound pattern
muzical pattern

Auditory Perception
Hearing
can hear sounds since in the uterus
good sense
can distinguish mother's voice
has strong connection with speaking ability

Speech perception
Phonemic perception
Analysing the speech stream

Problem in auditory perception


Apperceptive agnosia
Agnosia
Verbal agnosia

DEVELOPMENT OF VISUAL
PERCEPTION
Visual acuity and scanning
retina incomplete
optic nerves are not fully develop
see objects clearly between 7 and 15 inches away
lack acuity until 6 months of age
prefer faces than objects
> 1 month - differentiate mother's face

Vision Perception
Perception of three-dimensional
space
Depth perception
Motion
Binocular cues
Monocular cues
Awareness of invariant features of the
environment

Perception of pattern and forms


Scanning and tracking objects
Contrast sensitivity
Perceptual constancy

Face perception
Color perception

Problems with visual perception

Intermodal perception
Intermodal perception is the
awareness that objects or events can
be perceived at once by multiple
sensory systems (such as touch,
sound, and vision)

Intermodal perception
(Intersensory Integration)

Smell and taste


develop in the womb
can distinguish the smell of their mothers
able to differentiate among various taste stimuli
have innate preference for sweet taste rather than the sour, bitter, salty
Touch and pain
first sense to develop - 2 months after conception
> 8 months, all body parts are sensitive

Perception and Action


gross motor
physical skills involved large muscles
e.g. jumping and running

fine motor
small muscles activities & eye-hand coordination
e.g. buttoning and copying figures

Visual Cliff experiment
