Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget believed that neither intersensory integration nor cross-modal transfer were present at birth, but were gradually acquired over time as the child developed cognitive structures. The Gibsons, on the other hand, believed that some amount of both skills were built-in from birth, with integration being more innate and transfer being more learned through experience. Research has provided support for both viewpoints, with evidence of cross-modal transfer being found in infants as young as two months, but also with evidence of the importance of environmental stimulation for the continued development of these skills. Therefore, the most accurate statement is that the Gibsons believed that some amount of both skills were built-in from birth.
