Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants under 3 months of age primarily use motion cues (such as optical flow) to perceive depth because they do not yet have fully developed stereoscopic vision. However, older infants (around 5-6 months of age) begin to rely more on stereoscopic vision (using the slight differences in the retinal images from each eye) for depth perception, as well as active cues such as locomotion (such as crawling or reaching out to objects).
