ABSTRACT

The simple processes may, however, be legitimately studied in the perceptual responses of infants and young children, who have not acquired the more complex. During recent years extensive studies of these responses have been made by Fantz, Bower and many others, which will be discussed in Chapter II. However, we shall see that these simple percepts lead on, even during the first year of life, to the more complex perceptual processes associated with the identification of objects,

and schemata relating to these begin to be formed through learning by experience, especially through manipulation, and the memorizing of previous events.
