Our review exploring the development of visual object recognition is officially out in Nature Reviews Psych!
Here we draw on cognitive, computational, and neuroscience literatures to examine how humans develop robust object recognition abilities starting in infancy

Yet, despite the sparsity of objects in infants' visual world, they display remarkable recognition abilities ranging from viewpoint-invariance to few-shot learning.
Even the way in which infants sample their visual world is optimized for learning - highlighting the most diagnostic objects properties.
Although the ventral stream primarily supports recognition in adults, it is very much immature in infants, with few recurrent connections or category selective areas.
