“…Similar to the results from work on sensitivity to spatial contiguity with human infants (i.e., Lawson, 1980;Morrongiello et al, 1998), the findings of this study suggest that quail embryos are sensitive to both spatial and temporal features of audio-visual stimulation in the period prior to hatching. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that the emergence of responsiveness to integrated auditory and visual information begins during the prenatal period of development.…”

“…For example, younger infants associated synchronous objects and sounds despite substantial violations in spatial contiguity, whereas older infants did not . Bahrick and Lickliter (1998) obtained evidence that converged with the findings of Morrongiello et al (1998). Specifically, 2.5-, 3.5-, and 4.5-month old infants demonstrated a developmental trend of increased sensitivity to spatial contiguity information with increasing age when presented with two sideby-side films of moving objects and the matching auditory stimulus to one of the objects emanated from a remote spatial location.…”

“…The results from Experiment 3 thus did not support the hypothesis that temporal synchrony alone was sufficient to bias chicks' postnatal preferences to spatial contiguity. Morrongiello et al (1998) demonstrated that 6-and 8-month old infants did not make proper audio-visual associations when temporal synchrony and spatial contiguity information conflicted. This study found similar effects, in that quail embryos exposed to conflicting spatial and temporal information (Experiments 2 and 3) failed to prefer spatially contiguous audio-visual maternal cues at postnatal testing.…”

“…Morrongiello and her colleagues Morrongiello, 1994;Morrongiello, Fenwick, & Nutley, 1998) have proposed that infants are initially more sensitive to temporal elements of sensory stimulation in the weeks and months following birth, but that spatial contiguity comes to play an increasingly important role in intersensory integration with additional perceptual experience. In support of this view, they provided evidence that spatial contiguity becomes more salient over the course of development, with 6-and 8-month-old infants exhibiting a lower tolerance for audio-visual spatial disparity when compared to younger 2-and 4-month-old infants.…”

Little is known about how experiential factors guide and organize the development of intersensory perception. This study manipulated the amount of late prenatal and early postnatal experience with the temporal synchrony and spatial contiguity of audio-visual stimulation available to bobwhite quail embryos and hatchlings to explore this question. Results revealed that only embryos exposed to temporally synchronous and spatially contiguous audio-visual stimulation prior to hatching subsequently preferred spatially contiguous audio-visual maternal information following hatching, despite being denied postnatal visual experience. In contrast, embryos that did not receive exposure to both temporal synchrony and spatial contiguity (and were also denied postnatal visual experience) failed to show a preference for the spatial contiguity of maternal auditory and visual information following hatching. These results suggest that prenatal exposure to the amodal properties of temporal synchrony and spatial contiguity facilitate chicks' emerging sensitivity to the spatial contiguity of audio-visual information in the period following hatching.

“…However, although 4-month-olds' auditory localisation ability falls well short of adult levels, it is well established, with a minimum discriminable auditory angle of around 18 degrees (Morrongiello et al, 1990). And the fact that for static stimuli auditory-visual spatial co-location occurs in newborns (Morrongiello, Fenwick, & Chance, 1998) and older infants (Morrongiello, Fenwick, & Nutley, 1998), and that it occurs from two months upwards in the case of moving stimuli (Bremner et al in press), indicates that auditory localisation is sufficient to detect information specifying object location and change in location.…”

Although 4-month-olds perceive continuity of an object's trajectory through occlusion, little is known about the information specifying an occluding surface at this age. We investigated this in 3 experiments involving 84 participants. Testing the claim that 5-month-olds are unable to perceive the Kanizsa figure as an occluding surface (Csibra, 2001), we demonstrated that 4-month-olds perceived trajectory continuity behind this figure providing its horizontal extent was small. We demonstrated that the presence of visible occluding edges or occlusion of background was insufficient to specify an occluding surface but that their combination was sufficient. Thus, beyond object deletion and accretion, both visible occluding edges and occlusion of background are necessary for perception of occluding surfaces at this age.

Infants' perceptual systems are the primary means to acquire and interpret knowledge about events, objects, and people in the world around them. This chapter begins with discussion of theories of perceptual development and its consequences for children's cognitive and social development. We then discuss neural foundations of perception and the emergence and maturation of sensory systems before and after birth, followed by detailed sections on audition, vision, and intermodal perception. Throughout, we focus on questions of how the developing child extracts meaningful information from the sensory array—that is, how the observer detects, synthesizes, and interprets sensory input so as to yield perception of structured events and objects—and how effects of experience on perceptual development interact with developmental timing and what has already been acquired. We focus also on developmental mechanisms—growth, experience, and learning—and we examine as well the malleability, or plasticity, of perceptual systems during development. The chapter concludes with discussion of how different theoretical views may be reconciled in light of the developing child in a wider context.
