ABSTRACT
The ideas and findings as described above are extended now to developmental work in comparative psychophysics. The term developmental psychophysics refers to the age-specific, cross-sectional and/or longitudinal, case in sensation, perception, and cognition. Here more recent results obtained by the author’s research group with young humans and infant birds are outlined and evaluated. In particular, the question is raised here: To what extent do these developmental findings enrich ongoing and future research in comparative perception and psychophysics?
