Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A visual cliff is a laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals. The visual cliff is typically used to determine if a young infant has developed an understanding of depth perception. Infants who possess depth perception will typically refuse to venture onto the deeply sloping ("cliff") part of the checkered pattern, while continuing to crawl over the shallow ("safe") part.
