Newborns' Discrimination among Mid- and Long-Wavelength Stimuli.
Adams, Russell J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v47 n1 p130-41 Feb 1989
Data suggest that human newborns are capable of making a chromatic discrimination within the spectral region above 540 nm (the Rayleigh region), but their ability is limited to chromatic stimuli of very wide spectral separation and of very large size. Possible neurological bases underlying this immaturity are discussed. (RH)
