In Chapter 6 (Sensation and Perception), we read about a clever method for testing an infant's perception of depth. Describe the physical apparatus of the "visual cliff" and explain how it is used in testing the depth perception in babies. How was the visual cliff procedure modified in order to assess the ways in which babies begin to alter their own behaviours after observing their parents' emotional reactions?
