The two opposing opinions of biological universalism and cultural relativism advance a cohort of emotion theories. This review observes studies on social behavior in children with congenital Visual Impairment (VI), contrasting their outcomes with non-disabled infants. The article concludes that emotional exchange promotes categorization of social reality in newborns in order to acquire the initial phenomena, and then first words. Mental collaboration between infants and caregivers occurs through non-perceptual social interaction, at least in part, which helps infants with VI successfully pass their first language exercises. Non-perceptual social interaction originated before the five perceptual senses and was one of the first steps in the evolutionary development of perception. Each stage of embryonic development (then the fetus and child) provides the appropriate modality of social interaction corresponding to this stage. Human embryos are able to maintain interaction of the same modality as social insects. This modality of communication does not disappear with the further development of the organism at the next stages of the developmental hierarchy, but is replaced and goes into the background. An explanation for this mental collaboration has been proposed by the theory of coherent intelligence within the existing laws of physics.
