Study Notes
Intermodal Perception
- Involves combining sensory information from different modalities.
- Allows learning from one sense to be applied to another.
Piaget's Perspective
- Proposed that intermodal perception does not emerge until the end of the first year of life.
Gibson's View
- Argued that basic intermodal skills are present at birth.
Perceptual Constancies
- Refers to the cognitive rules that help ignore certain perceptual data.
- Comprised of three primary rules.
Rules of Perceptual Constancies
- Size Constancy: Perception of an object's size remains constant regardless of distance; visual reduction does not imply actual size decrease.
- Shape Constancy: The perceived shape of an object stays the same despite changing angles of view.
- Color Constancy: An object's color is perceived consistently even under varying lighting conditions.
Object of Concept
- Refers to the understanding of the nature and characteristics of concepts.
Components of Object of Concept
- Object Constancy: Recognizing an object as consistent despite variations in perception.
- Object Perception: The ability to identify and interpret objects.
- Object Permanence: Understanding that objects continue to exist even when not visible.
Development of Object Permanence
- 0-2 months: Minimal or no object permanence is exhibited.
- 2-6 months: Infants anticipate the presence of a briefly covered toy but do not search for dropped items.
- 6-8 months: Infants will search for dropped toys and can locate partially covered objects.
- 8-12 months: Children actively reach for and search for completely covered objects.
Importance of Object Permanence
- Essential for language development and forming attachments with caregivers.
