Hear sounds coming from without, as we do? Did she feel herself a separate thing from
the outer world? Did she perceive events as happening in timesuccession, one after another? And did she think of one thing
as happening because of another, so that, for instance, she was capable of crying in order to cause her dinner to be brought?
The hope of answering such questions was the first stimulus to the study of infants, and the earlier records are much occupied
with them. Philosophers nowadays are less disposed to think that we can prove anything about the doctrine of innate ideas by
finding whether babies have such ideas to begin with; for we might indeed have ideas that came direct from God, or from the
nature of the mind, and yet might not enter into our inheritance of these at once.
To me, however, not seeking to solve philosophical problems, butonly to watch and comprehend what was going on in the
baby's mind, it was none the less interesting to try to make out the condition of her senses and consciousness — though
without the careful special investigations certain physiologists had made before, I should have found it blind guessing as to
how much she really did see, hear, and feel; for these processes, of course, went on inside her little mind, and could only be
inferred from her behavior.
She evidently felt a difference between light and darkness from the first hour, for she stopped crying when her face was
exposed to gentle light; and other observers confirm this. Two or three report also a turning of the head toward the light
within the first week. The nurse, who was intelligent and exact, thought she saw this in the case of my niece. I did not, but I
saw instead a constant turning of the eyes toward a person coming near her — that is, toward a large dark mass that
interrupted the light. Either movement must be regarded as entirely instinctive or reflex. Even plants will turn toward the
light, and among animal movements this is one of the most primitive; while the habit of looking toward any dark moving
mass runs far back in animal history, and may well have become fixed in the bodily mechanism. With the beginning of
voluntary looking these instinctive movements fade.
No other sign of vision appeared in the little one during the first fortnight. The eyes were directed to nothing, fixed on
nothing. They did not wink if one made a pass at them. There wasno change of focus for near or distant seeing; the two eyes
did not even move always hi unison, — and as the lids also had by no means learned yet to move symmetrically with the balls
and with each other, some extraordinary and alarming contortions resulted.
True seeing, such as we ourselves have, is not just a matter of opening the eyes and letting the vision pour in; it requires a
great deal of minute muscular adjustment, both of the eyeballs and of the lenses, and it is impossible that a baby should see
anything but blurs of light and dark (without even any distinction of distance) till he has learned the adjustments. Not colored
blurs, but light and dark only, for no trace of color sense has ever been detected within the first fortnight of life, no certain
evidence of it even within the first year.
The baby showed no sign of hearing anything until the third day, when she started violently at the sound of tearing paper,
some eight feet from her. After that, occasional harsh or sudden sounds — oftener the rustling of paper than anything else—
could make her start or cry.
It is well established by the careful tests of several physiologists that babies are deaf for a period lasting from several hours to
several days after birth. The outer tube of the ear is often closed by its own walls, and the middle ear is always stopped up
with fluid. Even after the ear itself is clear and
