Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “As pointed out by Turkewitz (1994) and Turkewitz and Kenny (1982), this can actually be an advantage for the developing fetus because it can promote the orderly emergence of multisensory functions.”
Coarse scales are sufficient for efficient categorization of emotional facial expressions: Evidence from neural computation (2010, methodology): “The mean brightness of the stimuli was normalized at 90.3 on a scale of 256 levels of gray for the LSF, HSF and BSF images.”
Prenatal exposure to temporal and spatial stimulus properties affects postnatal responsiveness to spatial contiguity in bobwhite quail chicks. (2006, result): “In the more general sense, the present results add to the growing body of evidence indicating that sensory input during prenatal development plays an important role in subsequent perceptual and behavioral organization (see Gottlieb, 1997; Lickliter, 1995; Turkewitz & Kenny, 1982 ).”
Intermodal Perception and Selective Attention to Intersensory Redundancy: Implications for Typical Social Development and Autism (2010, background): “Turkewitz & Kenny (1982) proposed that sensory limitations during early development both reduce overall stimulation and mediate the timing of the introduction of stimulation, thereby reducing the amoum of competition between sensory systems.”
The development of infant discrimination of affect in multimodal and unimodal stimulation: The role of intersensory redundancy. (2007, background): “…senses emerge in an invariant sequence (tactile, vestibular, chemical, auditory, visual); therefore, it is likely that auditory perception may be more differentiated than visual perception in early infancy (see Gottlieb, 1971; Lewkowicz, 2000a; Turkewitz & Kenny, 1982; Turkewitz & Mellon , 1989).”
Please Scroll down for Article Connection Science Developmental Robotics: a Survey Developmental Robotics: a Survey (2003, unknown): “The authors attempted to understand whether physical limitations and constraints inherent to body development could be beneﬁcial for the exploration and selection of stable sensorimotor conﬁgurations (see also Turkewitz and Kenny 1982, Bjorklund and Green 1992).”
Heterochrony and Cross-Species Intersensory Matching by Infant Vervet Monkeys (2009, background): “In particular, Turkewitz and Kenny [19] suggested that the neural limitations imposed by the relatively slow rate of neural development in human infants may actually be advantageous because the limitations may provide them with greater functional plasticity.”
A Survey on Curriculum Learning (2021, background): “Cognitive evidence is then provided in human size constancy learning [116] and language learning [79].”
The Biological Implausibility of the Nature-Nurture Dichotomy & What It Means for the Study of Infancy (2011, background): “…timing of the interaction between specific factors (usually defined as the sensitive period) is crucial in structural as well as functional development (Bateson, 1979; Blumberg, 2008; Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Michel & Tyler, 2005; Oppenheim, 1981; Turkewitz & Kenny, 1982; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
The emergence of multisensory systems through perceptual narrowing. (2009, background): “Second, the early developmental limitations facilitate the emergence of multisensory perceptual skills by reducing the number of potential concurrent multisensory interactions and thus promoting the orderly integration of sensory modalities in a nervous system that might otherwise get easily overwhe”
Why Heuristics Work (2008, background): “Formal models help to identify the class of problems in which more information and processing pays or those in which ignoring or forgetting information is successful.”
The development of infant intersensory perception: advantages of a comparative convergent-operations approach. (2000, background): “…both developmental biologists and psychobiologists working with nonhuman animals (see, e.g., Alberts, 1984; Gottlieb, 1971, 1993; Knudsen & Brainard , 1995; Lickliter, 1995; Lickliter & Banker, 1994; Radell & Gottlieb, 1992; Spear, 1984; Stein & Meredith, 1993; Tees, 1994; Turkewitz & Kenny, 1982).”
Coarse scales are sufﬁcient for efﬁcient categorization of emotional facial expressions: Evidence from neural computation (unknown): “In line with other results previously reported in the literature at both the computational [1,9,25] and behavioral levels [23,34,36,38], the results are probably due to the computational properties of the LSF or HSF signals.”
