Detailed explanation-1: -As the infants were able to detect the danger from the ‘cliff’ side, Gibson and Walk concluded that their depth perception might be innate-it was at least present as soon as they could crawl.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The visual cliff study done by Eleanor Gibson and Richard Walk set out to fill in this research gap. They wanted to know if young infants were born with depth perception, could recognize the dangers of a large fall, and if they could ever be enticed to face such dangers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The visual cliff is a technique designed to determine whether or not an infant can perceive depth. The infant is tested to see whether or not it will crawl across a piece of clear plexiglass. This technique has been used to detected the ability to perceive depth in a variety of species.
