The infant's use of visual and haptic information in the perception and recognition of objects

H A Ruff. Can J Psychol. 1989 Jun.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between the haptic and visual systems during infant's bimodal interaction with objects. Four general topics are discussed: the role of exploratory activity in perception, the specific ways in which the two systems are related during exploration, developments over age in the relationship between the systems, and the impact of the organism/environment relationship on these developments.
