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.
The fact is, infants perceive things very differently than adults do. Some senses, like touch and hearing, are fully developed at birth. Others, such as sight, take several months to mature. We'll tell you what to expect and what you can do to stimulate each of your baby's senses.
