Notes
Held and Hein (1963) kitten carousel1:
- put two newborn kittens in a device like carousel; the active kitten can move freely, while the passive kitten is constrained to the basket
- both can see the world, but only one can move around freely while the other does not control the motion
- the active kitten developed health visual motor loop, and the passive kitten was not able to respond to things like cliff, or avoid obstacles
