An empiricist approach suggests that perceptual development is based on learning and experience, rather than being innate or predetermined by biology. Therefore, Ogden would agree that the ability of perception in infants is not innate but develops with learning and experience. Option B suggests that perceptual abilities are inborn and influenced by genes which is a nativist approach. Option C suggests that distinctive features develop at later ages which is also not in line with empiricist approach. Option D suggests that cognitive development is the only factor involved in perceptual development, which again is not exclusive to the empiricist approach.
