Exactly. There is no "upside-down" unless you train one way and then flip it. So I wish people would stop saying "babies see upside-down at first."

- a9h74j 4y agoTo your point ... FWIW, young kids in cultures where they were carried in all different orientations as infants allegedly would not turn over a picture handed to them "upside down" to look at it - whereas kids who were held more upright as infants would. Presumably the former could make sense of objects in many more orientations. (Somewhat sure this was in Ashely Montegue's treatise on Touch.)
