A newborn infant’s visual system is tuned to detect social stimuli, such as faces and biological movement. Young infants attend and respond to faces of their parents and can copy some facial expressions and tongue movements, as many parents can confirm. They are mentioned in Table 2 (in Additional Information) and the five often overlooked milestones in Table 1. In order to notice atypical use of vision, typical developmental steps should become better known. Early intervention for infants with impaired vision may not begin at all during the 1st year of life, especially if visual symptoms are interpreted to be “autistic-like.” Because the first 6 months of life are important in the development of infants’ eye contact, early interaction, and development of motor functions, more space has been allotted in this review for the first than the latter half of the 1st year. Consequently, clinical diagnostic work of atypical visual functioning of these otherwise healthy infants with normal-looking eyes is delayed because referrals are delayed. This infant group has other more discernible disorders that require intensive care thus, vision is often not considered in early intervention even when the infants receive other clinical and rehabilitation services.Įye disorders of healthy infants are detected early during the 1st year whereas atypical use of vision is often met with a “wait-and-see” response. These infants should be carefully observed for symptoms and signs of atypical visual functioning due to disorders in the eyes, in the visual pathways, and/or in the visual brain. The groups of infants at risk with vision impairment are well known and include small, prematurely born infants brain damage during or soon after birth infections epilepsy and all disorders causing hypotonia, especially Down syndrome. Reports focus on the 1st year of life because this is the most important year in the development of vision, as well as the least well-understood age in clinical work.Īn overview of the basic research investigations on functions of the visual brain is described by Vanderwert and Nelson in 2014.ĭeviations from typical visual development are often present at, or soon after birth in infants with normal-looking eyes. Most readers of this article are likely to search for something to use in clinical work therefore, reports of observational studies are organized around the visual milestones so that the findings can be used to design tests and observation situations. A great number of investigations were based on indirect measurements of brain functions using event-related potential (ERP), EEG techniques, and functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and comparing the findings in infants with those from young adults in whom the whole brain was searched for areas of coherent magnetoencephalographic (MEG) activity. Publications included numerous traditional reports based on observations and interpretations of infants’ behaviors. In the bottom half, the Sky Sox were only able to muster a single run on Taylor's one-out single to score designated-runner Phillips after Arcia moved him to third base on his groundout, falling 6-5 to New Orleans.While collecting material for this review article, it quickly became apparent that the number of publications originally included was overwhelming. In the top of the eighth inning, the Baby Cakes took advantage, scoring two runs right off the bat on Rafael Ortega's lead-off triple and Campbell's single to take a 6-4 lead. In the next inning, New Orleans cut the lead with one swing after Jonathan Rodriguez homered with two outs and one on (Galloway, double), to even the game.Īfter four-and-a-half consecutive scoreless frames, the contest went to extras.
The fourth run was tallied after Taylor scored on a back-pick error by 'Cakes catcher Tomas Telis to bring it to a 4-2 advantage.
Following a double steal to put both runners into scoring position, Tyrone Taylor cleared the bases on his stand-up triple to right field, giving the home squad the 3-2 lead. Starting pitcher Paolo Espino led the inning off with a single while Brett Phillips and Orlando Arcia knocked consecutive singles after to manufacture the first run. The Sky Sox retaliated in the bottom of the third to take the lead. After Isaac Galloway hit a solo home run, Cristhian Adames restarted the inning with a one-out double and was driven in on Cito Culver's line drive single. In game two, the Baby Cakes once again struck first in the ballgame with two runs. Starter Alec Asher, in his 10th start with the Sky Sox, notched his fifth win after a stellar six-inning outing while allowing just one run on five hits. The game went the minimum in the final two-and-a-half frames.
