Special collars kept them from seeing anything else, even their own bodies.  Describe the results of this research study.

Without normal visual experience, the neurons in the brain that would normally respond to horizontal or to vertical lines deteriorate.
As a result, the kittens appeared to be blind to the stimuli that they had not experienced.
Kittens exposed only to vertical stripes bumped into horizontal obstacles and those exposed only to horizontal stripes bumped into vertical obstacles.
