Abstract
An early sensitivity for detecting differences in visual topological property in 0-to 4- day-old human neonates
Highlights
One important adaptive response to objects in the world is the ability to perceive their spatial characteristics at a glance
An inverse novelty preference for the disk in the familiarized-to-ring condition of Exp. 1 might be attributed to the overruling of a spontaneous preference for the ring; a spontaneous preference still implies successful discrimination
The pattern of results is consistent with the key hypothesis of the topological perception theory [3] that extracting global topological properties serves as the starting point of object processing in the visual system
Summary
One important adaptive response to objects in the world is the ability to perceive their spatial characteristics at a glance. As a branch of mathematics seemingly abstract, concerns the basic spatial characteristics that are preserved under continuous and one-to-one transformations. It can be comprehended intuitively by imagining a piece of clay being stretched (or something like a ‘’rubber-sheet’’ distortion) from shape X to shape Y. Under such transformation, the spatial properties preserved from shape X to shape Y are termed topological properties. The spatial properties preserved from shape X to shape Y are termed topological properties These include continuity, connectivity, interior/ exterior or inside/outside relationship, and the presence/absence and number of holes in an object. The presence/absence of holes in an object marks salient topological information
