Infant vision and development

Interesting article in Sci American called "how babies think."  It shows the results of experiments that reveal that babies have much more advanced reasoning and problem solving skills than previously thought.  Interesting that almost all the experiments required VISUAL problem solving.  Gesell and Streff were right - infants are born much more ready to do things on a visual basis than most scientists give them credit for and vision is dominant.

Which Scientific American? This sounds like an article we should all have in our libraries!

Dan and Carol - this is the latest Sci Am issue. I was in Cleveland on layover on my way home from Ohio and killed some time by looking at the contents for the science-related magazines on the newstands in hopes of finding a vision related story.
