New study offers glimpse of how toddlers engage in visual world
Everyone does it thousands of times a day and may never notice it—blinking. When we blink, we are giving our brains a rest from information we see as less important.
Researchers at Marcus Autism Center, Emory University and Yale Child Study Center have shown by analyzing when toddlers blink that children with autism tend to focus on moving objects, rather than people’s faces or body posture. This study moves beyond what children are watching, to how much children care about what they are seeing. Learn more about this important research.
