The Development of Infants’ Auditory Spatial Sensitivity

Early research in the area of perceptual development has been inspired by two opposing viewpoints: nativism and empiricism. Extreme nativists argue that a perceptually naive infant possesses the perceptual abilities of experienced adults, whereas empiricists such as William James maintain that the young infant’s world is composed of a “blooming, buzzing confusion.” According to this latter view, objects and people gradually emerge through experience from the background of perceptual chaos.
