A reminder that the infant must learn to see -- reverse lateral field, achieve binocular vision, revert the upside-down world, learn a sense of depth (a child unable to move would only have a 2D world). Authors state that depth, the 'chief characteristic of visual space,' is not primarily derived from visual experience but from locomototion and kinaesthetic experience (a blind child achieves depth perception through audition and locomotion).
