Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muir and Mitchell's studies, along with similar research by other scientists such as D.H. Hubel and T.N. Wiesel, demonstrated that kittens raised in environments with restricted visual stimulation (e.g., only being able to see horizontal or vertical lines) had permanently altered visual abilities, indicating the critical role of early sensory experiences in the development of perceptual capabilities.
