商品簡介
Largely approaching the topic from a neuroscientific perspective, but incorporating insights from perceptual psychology, cognitive psychology, pediatric numerology, and ophthalmology, Atkinson (Visual Development Unit, U. College London, UK) traces the past two decades growth in understanding of brain structure-function relationships in human visual development. She describes the theoretical framework of the subject, looks at the development of various brain modules underlying visual attributes, discusses "action streams" and developing selective attention, and plasticity at different levels of the visual system. A final chapter outlines future concerns for basic and clinical research. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
