Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Highlights: In 1960, researchers conducted a “visual cliff” experiment and concluded that depth perception is innate, and it keeps babies safe from dangerous, height-related obstacles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk (1960) investigated the ability of newborn animals and human infants to detect depth. Gibson and Walk tested whether youngsters would crawl over an apparent cliff-if the neonates did it could be assumed that the ability to see depth was not inborn.
Detailed explanation-3: -The visual cliff is an apparatus created by psychologists Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk at Cornell University to investigate depth perception in human and other animal species.
