Emergence of the Ability to Discriminate a Blue from Gray at One Month of Age.

Maurer, Daphne; and Adams, Russell J.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v44 n2 p147-56 Oct 1987

Two different methods which minimize achromatic cues were used to test the ability of one-month-olds to discriminate gray from broadband blue. Test data imply an improvement between birth and one month of age in the discrimination of gray from broadband blue. Possible physiological changes underlying this improvement are discussed.
