Infant Visual Stimulation

August 18th, 2003 · 5 Comments

Everyone says that babies respond best to high-contrast black and white images. A series of images have been created to test this theory. But what kind of patterns are baby’s brains interested in processing? Ordered patterns, disordered, organic? Repetitions? Symmetries? Changes in Scale? Linear, Radial or Clustered groupings? Intersections of Forms? Solid Shapes? Edge Relationships? These questions will all be answered. I know I should be doing other things with my time when she is sleeping (like taking a nap myself or cleaning urine off the couch), but I can’t stop making patterns in Illustrator. Currently waiting for Trixie to wake up.

If the rest of this blog is any indication, these images will no doubt have a laxative effect on the subject.

is there any way you could email me some of these pictures for my little girl? I really would like to have them to put up for her to look at! Thanks!

I think you should make an infant visual website. where parents can tune in and give baby a little computer time! It’s sure to generate income with advertising! and who knows then you can create a line of books and etc…
good luck!

Hi Leah,

There’s a PDF with some patterns on this page that you can download:
