Visual communication is the most important communication method
during the first year of life. The ability to detect objects of low
contrast is an important component of the visual system. For example,
facial expressions are mediated by faint shadows and changes in the
contours of the mouth and eyes. Determining the levels of contrast that
an infant can detect helps provide baseline data for evaluating future
changes. For example, deviations from usual behavior may indicate
disorders that leave vision at high-contrast levels unaffected.
Four cards printed on both sides in the following contrast levels:
black, 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, and 1.25%. Cards are 9" x 9" (23 cm x 23 cm).
Includes instructions.
