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.
Loss of depth perception can cause accidents and anxiety. Poor depth perception in children can be a sign of more serious vision problems that need to be addressed right away to prevent permanent vision loss and learning disabilities. Declining depth perception in adults can be a sign of progressive eye conditions.
