Dr. Bosworth is an Experimental Psychologist who studies how early sensory input shapes perception and cognition. One way to study how unique sensory experience shapes us is to compare perceptual abilities in unique populations. For example, she studied healthy premature infants, to determine whether their “additional” postnatal experience, as a result of being born accelerates their visual development. This work shows that preterm infants who are born 6 weeks early, and see the world’s full spectrum of light, can see color contrasts better than fullterm infants do.
