Sensory restriction is much more likely to hinder visual development in early infancy than during other times of life.This suggests that there is a(n)________ for normal visual development.
A) difference threshold
B) accommodation
C) critical period
D) blind spot

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that sensory restriction only hinders visual development in early infancy suggests that there is a critical period for normal visual development, during which the brain is most receptive to certain stimuli and experiences. This critical period is thought to end around age 7 or 8 for vision, after which sensory input has less of an impact on development. Therefore, option C - critical period - is the best choice. Options A and B are not directly related to the concept of critical periods, and option D is incorrect as the blind spot is a specific area within the visual field where there are no photoreceptors.
