Description

This course aims to increase the student's understanding of visual sensitivity to colour, motion and form in human infants and young children. Specifically, topics will include: methods of infant visual function assessment; limitations of currently available techniques, including visual evoked potentials, forced-choice preferential looking and optokinetic nystagmus; anatomical and functional development of the human visual system: differential neural pathway development; visual development under normal and abnormal conditions: the effects of oculo-visual abnormality on development of different visual functions.
