Verified step by step guidance

Identify the main focus of Eleanor Gibson and Richard Walk's study, which is related to depth perception in infants.

Understand the concept of the 'visual cliff,' which is an experimental setup used to test depth perception in infants and young animals.

Recognize that the study involved a glass-covered drop-off that appeared as a cliff, to see if infants would crawl over it.

Note that the key finding was that babies demonstrated depth perception by refusing to crawl over the 'visual cliff,' indicating they could perceive depth.

Conclude that the study provided evidence that depth perception is present at a very young age in humans.
