The purpose of this study was to observe and to classify the visual stimulus response behavior in early infancy as well as to examine factors influencing the visual stimulus response. The subjects were 58 infants of ages from 3 to 5 months. Results of the MCC Baby Test and the response behavior to the visual stimulation (an red wool) filmed by 8 mm camera were analyzed, and 8 response patterns and 3 group (high level, middle level and low level) among these patterns based on the stage of the visual response development were identifyed. Concerning the factors related to the visual response development, two groups (high level group and low level group) were compared, and length of fetal period, birth weight, difficulties during neonatal period and present developmental state of the infant were significantly related to this development of the visual response. that is, premature delivery, low birth weight, experience difficulties during neonatal period and low D. Q. were more seen low level group than high level group. However, there was no difference between two groups about background such as parents' age, educational background and occupation, famly size, family income and existence of sibling. Considering the importance of home stimulation, further study is needed on the development of the child in relation to the visual response in early infancy.
