Abstract

Stereograms were presented in a two-choice preference procedure. The mean age at which stereopsis was first demonstrable was 16 weeks. By a mean age of 21 weeks, infants had achieved stereoacuity of 1 minute of arc or better. In comparison with the relatively slow development of visual acuity, the time course for the development of stereoacuity is extremely rapid.
