CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Depth perception, which is the ability to judge if objects are nearer or farther away than other objects, is not present at birth. It is not until around the fifth month that the eyes are capable of working together to form a three-dimensional view of the world and begin to see in-depth.

Detailed explanation-2: -For the first 2 months of life, an infant’s eyes do not work well together and may cross or wander. This usually goes away. If it continues, or if an eye is always turned in or out, talk to your baby’s doctor or health care provider.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your 2-month-old can see people and objects as far as 18 inches away. They may even be able to follow your movements when you’re close by. Color differences are becoming clearer to your baby, and they’ll start to distinguish shades such as red and yellow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Studies have shown that even newborns, with their eyesight limited to about 12 inches, prefer to look at familiar faces-especially yours. Months 2 to 4: Your baby will start to recognize her primary caregivers’ faces, and by the 4-month mark, she’ll recognize familiar faces and objects from a distance.

Detailed explanation-5: -Infants first become sensitive at about two months to kinematic, or motion-carried information for distance, as when one surface moves in front of another. At about four months, infants are able to perceive depth via the difference in the optical projections at the two retinas to determine depth, known as stereopsis.
