在过去的25年里，关于感知发展的研究出现了爆炸式的增长。这项研究在多个层面上产生了发现：对可用于感知的信息进行生态分析，表征和过程模型，以及改善对生物机制的理解。在这本关于婴儿知觉的综合性著作中，菲利普·凯尔曼和玛莎·阿特伯里将这些多层次的工作结合在一起，以产生一幅关于知觉起源的新图景。重点是感性知识--一个人如何感知世界;什么信息、过程和机制产生了这种知识;以及感性过程如何随着时间的推移而变化。他们研究各个领域的早期感知，如物体，空间，运动，多式联运和言语感知，并试图发现每个领域的起点和发展路径。通过专注于个别实验，他们也给读者一个如何进行研究，包括数据和理论的相互作用的看法。有两种观点竞相描述感知是如何开始和发展的。传统的建构主义观点强调通过扩展学习来建构感知现实，但这一观点已被许多领域的实验数据所否定。生态学观点强调进化在婴儿感知能力培养中的作用，提供了更好的整体解释，但作者表明，先天基础和学习都有助于感知发展。作者还研究了婴儿的感知能力与他们的认知，社会和运动发展之间的相互作用。他们认为，早期感知的新图景需要对人类认知和社会发展的开端进行修正。
In the past twenty-five years there has been an explosion in research on the development of perception. This research has produced discoveries at multiple levels: ecological analyses of the information available for perception, models of representation and process, and improved understanding of biological mechanisms. In this comprehensive treatment of infant perception, Philip Kellman and Martha Arterberry bring together work at these multiple levels to produce a new picture of perception's origins. The emphasis is on perceptual knowledge -- how one comes to perceive the world; what information, processes, and mechanisms produce this knowledge; and how perceptual processes change over time. They examine early perception in various domains, such as object, space, motion, intermodal, and speech perception and attempt to discover the starting points and paths of development of each. By focusing on individual experiments, they also give the reader a view of how research is conducted, including the interplay of data and theory. Two families of views compete to describe how perception begins and develops. The authors show that the traditional constructivist view, emphasizing the construction of perceptual reality through extended learning, has been disconfirmed by experimental data in many domains. An ecological view, emphasizing the role of evolution in preparing infants to perceive, provides a better overall account, but the authors show that both innate foundations and learning contribute to perceptual development. The authors also examine interactions between infants' perceptual abilities and their cognitive, social, and motor development. They argue that the new picture of early perception requires a revised view of the beginnings of human cognitive and social development.
