Ep.14: What Can Kids See? How Eyes and Vision Change from Baby to Adult - With Dr. Lisa Oakes
Have you wondered what a baby can see? Dr. Wendy interviews vision researcher Dr. Lisa Oakes. She explains the “blooming buzzing of color” that babies experience when they enter our world. Dr. Oakes studies how babies learn to recognize faces and how what they can see depends on their milestones like sitting and reaching for objects. What can a parent do to help kids’ development? We cover that too!
Be sure to check your feed in a few days for a bonus episode discussing Dr. Oakes' research in examining how having a pet dog or cat enhances kids’ learning and how people recognize faces of races other than their own from an early age.
