Although it is not yet clear
what role such detector
mechanisms play in visual form
perception, the evidence
supports the hypothesis that
rearing animals in deprived
visual environments will lead
to impairment of vision. In
fact, it would seem that the
requirement for normal
maturation of the visual
nervous system (which may
include special kinds of growth
of neurons in the brain) rules
out all experiments in which
animals are deprived of normal
vision as a source of definitive
evidence about the innateness
of form perception. The same
reasoning applies to the study
of individuals born blind who
gain their sight; it is likely
that these people have suffered
some degree of impairment of
their visual system.
