An Information-Processing Analysis of Reinforcement in Children's Discrimination Learning

Peer reviewed

Estes, Katherine W. – Child Development, 1976

The information load analysis of a discrimination-learning situation was studied by comparing speed of learning with a conventional reinforcement procedure and an inseparable reinforcer. Results showed more rapid learning by 4- to 6-year-olds with the inseparable reinforcer on earlier problems in a series and greater effect on more difficult…

Facilitation of Discrimination Learning with Delayed Reinforcement

Peer reviewed

Goldstein, Sondra Blevins; Siegel, Alexander W. – Child Development, 1972

Study attempts to clarify the attentional versus perceptual learning functions of presence of the discriminative stimuli during delay. (Authors)

Stimulus Orientation and the Apparent Developmental Lag Between Perception and Performance

Peer reviewed

Strayer, Janet; Ames, Elinor W. – Child Development, 1972

Aim of the present study was to clarify the processes involved in the apparent lag in copying a diamond by reducing the lag experimentally with perceptual training of discrimination of orientation. (Authors)

Processing of Rapid Auditory Stimuli in School-Age Children Referred for Evaluation of Learning Disorders.

Peer reviewed

Waber, Deborah P.; Weiler, Michael D.; Wolff, Peter H.; Bellinger, David; Marcus, David J.; Ariel, Raya; Forebes, Peter; Wypig, David – Child Development, 2001

Compared the processing of rapid auditory stimuli on two-tone auditory discrimination tasks by 7- to 11-year-olds with learning impairments (LI) and those without learning impairments (non-LI). Found that LI children committed more errors, but the effects of timing were comparable. Obtained same results with a sample of good and poor readers. Task…
