Newborn babies don't see what adults see. If we were to look through their eyes, it would seem like we were in a dark room wearing cloudy glasses. In fact, newborn babies' vision is 40 times less accurate than adults at seeing fine details. Despite these limitations, newborns will move their eyes toward a pattern they can see and they even prefer some patterns over others. A baby will look at round shapes rather than squares. They also prefer simple patterns to more complex ones.
For example, a checkerboard made up of large squares will capture a baby's attention for longer than one made of small squares. Infants are not frustrated by what they cannot see. On the contrary, their vision develops according to their ability to process images and light.
