“…Recent findings, however, suggest a way out of this impasse. Although newborn infants have limited abilities to perceive and track continuous motion, they may be more sensitive to flicker and stroboscopic motion (Farroni, Simion, Umiltà, & Dalla Barba, 2000;Goldberg, Maurer, & Lewis, 1997;Taga, Asakawa, Hirasawa, & Konoshi, 2003;Vehrs & Baum, 1971). Stroboscopic motion, a movement elicited by presenting the same object in temporally and spatially discontinuous positions, is mediated by subcortical structures that are active at birth (Bronson, 1990;Goldberg & Wurtz, 1972;Rock, Taube, & Heller, 1965).…”
