Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charlotte's preference for looking at the checkerboard with many small squares suggests that she has higher contrast sensitivity, meaning that she can distinguish between objects with slight differences in contrast. This is a form of visual acuity that develops early in infancy. Choice B (pictorial depth perception) and C (shape sensitivity) do not seem to be relevant to Charlotte's behavior in this scenario, and choice D (binocular depth perception) involves the ability to perceive depth using both eyes, which is not directly related to Charlotte's preference for small squares.
