Types of Neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, which includes the sensory and autonomic nerves that connect the spinal cord and muscles, skin and internal organs. It usually affects the limbs, causing numbness, prickling and pain.
Gibson and Walk (1960) hypothesized that depth perception is inherent as opposed to a learned process. To test this, they placed 36 infants, 6 to 14 months of age, on the shallow side of the visual cliff apparatus.
Depth perception is the process by which we perceive the world in three dimensions. It is an important component of our vision. If there is any defect in vision, it is important to see the eye doctor (known as an ophthalmologist). This is even more important in growing children, as their brains are developing the visual pathways.
