The emergence of visual cortex specialization for culturally acquired characters like letters and digits, both arbitrary shapes related to specific cognitive domains, is yet unclear. Here, 20 young children (6.12 years old) were tested with a frequency-tagging paradigm coupled with electroencephalogram recordings to assess discrimination responses…

An examination of the extent to which adults and children (7 and 11 years old) were able to make discriminations between fixations directed at their eyes and at different positions on their faces. (SDH)

Impulsive second grade, inner-city children, were trained to improve their search strategies on visual discrimination tasks. Groups with training improved their search strategies, while the untrained control group did not. (ST)

This study investigated the hypothesis that there is a developmental trend toward greater flexibility of strategies in visual selection. Subjects were 48 second and sixth graders. (Author/SDH)

Groups of eight- and ten-year-olds and adults visually searched for the presence of a target letter or number in fields of items that were either of the same or a different category (letter or number) than the target. (JMB)

An investigation to account for age changes in the accuracy with which children match auditory to visual series. (Author)

Preschool, second-, and sixth-grade children performed developmentally gradated, easy and difficult visual discrimination tasks in a quiet room or with one of two levels of extraneous auditory stimulation. Subjects' errors, response latencies, and glances away from the task were recorded. (Author/RH)
