By 1985 newly devised behavioural and electrophysiological techniques had been used to
track development of infants' acuity, contrast sensitivity and binocularity, and for clinical …

Directional motion processing is a pervasive and functionally important feature of the visual
system. Behavioural and VEP studies indicate that it appears as a cortical function after …

Visuo-perceptual processing in autism is characterized by intact or enhanced performance
on static spatial tasks and inferior performance on dynamic tasks, suggesting a deficit of …

Psychophysical studies of children deprived of early visual experience by dense cataracts
indicate that there are multiple sensitive periods during which experience can influence …

The aim of this large‐sample cross‐sectional voxel‐based morphometry (VBM) study of
anatomical brain data was to investigate linear and nonlinear age‐related trajectories of …

Frith and Happé (Frith, U., & Happé, F.(1994). Autism: Beyond theory of mind. Cognition, 50,
115–132) argue that individuals with autism exhibit 'weak central coherence': an inability to …

Preterm birth is a risk factor for deficits of neurological and cognitive development. Four
cohort studies are reported investigating the effects of very premature birth (< 32 weeks …

Several groups have recently reported that people with autism may suffer from a deficit in
visual motion processing and proposed that these deficits may be related to a general dorsal …

The main aim of this review is to evaluate the proposal that several developmental disorders
affecting vision share an impairment of the dorsal visual stream. First, the current definitions …

Abstract Research in the Visual Development Unit on “dorsal stream vulnerability'(DSV)
arose from research in two somewhat different areas. In the first, using cortical milestones for …
