    the study of infant perception and cognition and its difficulties due to the limited motor and communication skills   The study of infant perception and cognition is extremely difficult due to their limited motor and communication skills – abilities that are heavily relied upon in research with older children and adults. The challenge for researchers has been to develop research procedures that cater to infants’ restricted response capabilities. 15 In your essay, you are required to discuss a range of different methods researchers have used to study infants’ perceptual ability. What are some of the critiques and limitations of these research methods that researchers have identified? In your response, you need to refer to the methods used in at least 5 empirical research studies Suggested Readings: The reference below has been provided as a starting point. You are not required to use this references, but you must use references of similar quality in your essay. Houston-Price, C., & Nakai, S. (2004).
