Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research in developmental psychology has shown that infants' abilities in speech perception, face perception, and intermodal perception (the integration of information across different senses) are subject to experience-dependent narrowing. This means that as infants gain experience with certain types of stimuli (e.g., the sounds of their native language, faces of their own race), they become less sensitive to distinctions in stimuli they encounter less frequently (e.g., sounds not in their native language, faces of other races). However, there is less evidence to suggest that experience leads to a similar narrowing in tactile interpretation, making it the correct answer.
