Webinar – Baby vision and baby books
Webinar – Baby vision and baby books
Professor Anna Franklin
Recorded webinar – available immediately
Babies’ vision is initially poor and they have strong preferences for looking at certain types of things and images. Here, Professor Anna Franklin presents the science of infant visual development, and busts several myths about what babies can and can’t see and what they like to look at. She reveals surprising facts such as how babies see colour, and when babies develop perceptual skills such as seeing in 3D and seeing visual illusions. She also outlines her new research which identifies the visual features of the books that grab babies’ attention, and makes suggestions for how to choose a baby book that is just right for babies’ visual abilities.
Audience
This webinar is aimed at anyone involved with young children, either professionals or parents.
