A behavioural technique for the rapid assessment of the visual capabilities of kittens
Abstract
A behavioural method is described for the measurement of various visual spatial acuities in kittens as young as thirty days of age. Expamples are given of applications of the technique to measurement of the visual acuity for gratings in normal kittens as well as to studies of the time course of behavioural recovery from the effects of early monocular visual deprivation.
