Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research with two-month-old babies and the visual cliff has shown that babies do seem to perceive a difference between the shallow side and the deep side. They show signs of hesitation or reluctance to cross over the deep side, which suggests they have some understanding of depth perception. This indicates that depth perception is innate or present from early development in humans.
