Abstract
Nativists have long believed in the infant’s innate preference to look at patterned visual stimuli. Over the past decade, this behavioural response has been translated into Preferential Looking (P.L.) (Fantz 1962, Teller 1979, 1986), a new visual acuity test for children below the age of three.
