In this paper we posit a domain-general principle that may account for the improvement that is observed in several aspects of perceptual development over the first years of life. Development during this time frame is characterized by a process of perceptual narrowing, whereby the discrimination of perceptual information is broadly tuned at first, and then narrows to more selective levels with experience. This process appears to cut across both the visual and auditory modalities, and may reflect the development of a common neural architecture.
在本文中，我们提出了一个通用原则，该原则可能解释了在生命的最初几年中，感知发展的几个方面所观察到的改善。在此时间框架内的发展以感知窄化过程为特征，即最初对感知信息的辨别是广泛调整的，然后随着经验的积累缩小到更具选择性的水平。这个过程似乎跨越了视觉和听觉两种模态，并且可能反映了一种共同神经架构的发展。
