The Sensitive Period for Tactile Remapping Does Not Include Early Infancy

The Sensitive Period for Tactile Remapping Does Not Include Early Infancy.

Visual input during development seems crucial in tactile spatial perception, given that late, but not congenitally, blind people are impaired when skin-based and tactile external representations are in conflict (when crossing the limbs). To test whether there is a sensitive period during which visual input is necessary, 14 children (age = 7.95) and a teenager (LM; age = 17.38) deprived of early...

Pacific herring hearing does not include ultrasound.

Recent studies have shown that some clupeid fishes, including shad and menhaden, can detect ultrasound (sound with frequencies higher than 20 kHz) and actively avoid it. However, other clupeids, including sardines and anchovies, do not detect ultrasound. The hearing abilities of herring are of particular interest because of their commercial importance, our reliance on acoustics to monitor their...

Face-sensitive cortical processing in early infancy.

BACKGROUND Debates about the developmental origins of adult face processing could be directly addressed if a clear infant neural marker could be identified. Previous research with infants remains open to criticism regarding the control stimuli employed. METHODS We recorded ERPs from adults and 3-month-old infants while they watched faces and matched visual noise stimuli. RESULTS We observed...
