本研究的目的是调查，是否由于不同的敏感性之间的上部和下部的视野，在视觉偏好任务的新生儿将定向更频繁，并期待更长的模式与大量的高对比度的地区在上部或下部的视野。结果表明，对上半部分成分多于下半部分成分的刺激具有可靠的偏好。所获得的证据表明，在出生时，刺激的可见性不仅取决于其感官特性，而且还取决于其结构特征。
The present study was aimed at investigating whether, because of a differential sensitivity between the upper and the lower visual fields, in a visual preference task newborns would orient more frequently and look longer at patterns with a great number of high-contrast areas in the upper or lower visual field Newborns were presented with three pairs of geometrical stimuli, each composed of a pattern with a greater number of elements in the upper part or a pattern with more elements in the lower part, The results showed a reliable preference for the stimuli that had more elements in the upper than in the lower part. The evidence obtained suggests the possibility that, at birth, the visibility of a stimulus depends not only on its sensory properties, but also on its structural characteristics.
