Levels of perception
as they develop in infants

The Wonder Weeks:
Eight predictable leaps in your
baby’s mental development

Hetty Vanderijt and her husband Frans Plooij have studied the mental development of infants from birth and explain their observations in terms of PCT. Their original Dutch book (1992), listed below, was based on studies of mothers and infants in The Netherlands. This study has been replicated in Britain, Spain and Sweden with consistent results as reported in Heimann, M. (2003). Regression periods in human infancy. Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum.
