Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that humans adapt readily to distorted visual environments, while lower animals typically do not. This has been demonstrated through studies such as the "visual cliff" experiment and experiments with prism goggles. Although adaptation may be more difficult for some individuals or in certain circumstances, it is not true that adaptation rarely takes place or that it is only possible during a critical period in infancy. Similarly, while animals may also be able to adapt to some extent, they generally do so less readily than humans.
