This review analyses the most representative research contribution on the study of cognitive processes at birth. The examined works investigated: 1) which information newborn infant's eye can detect and how this information is sent to visual cortex (pattern detection); 2) which stimulus features newborn infant can discriminate and which she/he prefers; 3) if newborn infant can memorize the information that she/he detected; 4) which perceptual capabilities there are at birth. It is suggested to explain the results of the researches examined within the theoretical model suggested by Leslie Cohen (1988).

Abstract
This review analyses the most representative research contribution on the study of cognitive processes at birth. The examined works investigated: 1) which information newborn infant's eye can detect and how this information is sent to visual cortex (pattern detection); 2) which stimulus features newborn infant can discriminate and which she/he prefers; 3) if newborn infant can memorize the information that she/he detected; 4) which perceptual capabilities there are at birth. It is suggested to explain the results of the researches examined within the theoretical model suggested by Leslie Cohen (1988).File in questo prodotto:
