Peer reviewedLewkowicz, David J.; Turkewitz, Gerald – Child Development, 1981
Investigates intersensory interaction between auditory and visual stimulation in newborn infants. Following auditory stimulation, newborns' visual preferences for light patches of different intensity were examined. Results indicate that newborns attend to quantitative variations in stimulation and that these variations reflect both the objective…

Peer reviewedTatarsky, Julian H. – Child Development, 1974
Presents an investigation of the hypothesis that an increase in the salience of the total class dimension should improve class-inclusion performance. Subjects were 220 children in kindergarten through third grades. (SDH)

Peer reviewedTyrrell, Donald J. – Child Development, 1977
Analysis of 40 first-grade children's performance on two discrimination learning problems revealed that children do transfer dimensional information between the visual and tactual modalities. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedThompson, Lee A.; And Others – Child Development, 1991
Tested infants at five and seven months of age for visual novelty preference. Tested the same infants at 12, 24, and 36 months by means of a battery of cognitive and language tests that compare novelty preference to general and specific cognitive abilities. Results support recent findings that infant novelty preference is predictive of later IQ.…

Peer reviewedBertenthal, Bennett I.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
Examines, in three experiments, infant sensitivity at 20, 30, and 36 weeks of age to 3-dimensional structure of a human form specified through biomechanical motions. Findings are interpreted as suggesting that infants, by 36 weeks of age, are extracting fundamental properties necessary for interpreting a point-light display as a person. (Author/BE)

This investigation also studied the relationship between gestational age and preferences for contour. (CB)

Peer reviewedDenney, Nancy Wadsworth – Child Development, 1972
The most significant finding is that classification according to complete similarity not only occurs much earlier than reported by Inhelder and Piaget, but also does not follow the developmental course reported by Inhelder and Piaget. (Author)

Peer reviewedMiller, Patricia H. – Child Development, 1973
Results show that both kindergarten nonconservers and kindergarten conservers found height most salient. Third-grade conservers found quantity most salient but could easily attend to height and width. (Author/CB)

Peer reviewedCantor, Joan H.; Spiker, Charles C. – Child Development, 1979
Subjects were trained against their initial dimensional preference in a two-dimensional simultaneous discrimination learning task. (RH)

Peer reviewedOdom, Richard D.; Corbin, David W. – Child Development, 1973
Uni- and multidimensional processing of 6- to 9-year olds was studied using recall tasks in which an array of stimuli was reconstructed to match a model array. Results indicated that both age groups were able to solve multidimensional problems, but that solution rate was retarded by the unidimensional processing of highly salient dimensions.…

Peer reviewedSeitz, Victoria R. – Child Development, 1971
It was concluded that the scaled preference values have high face validity and that they suggest the need for reexamination of some previous experimental results. (Author)

Peer reviewedLehman, Elyse Brauch – Child Development, 1972
Results suggest that selective attention is a multifaceted skill, with development of its parts progressing at different rates. (Author)

Peer reviewedBrier, Norman; Jacobs, Paul I. – Child Development, 1972
A single administration of the reversal learning paradigm is not a sufficient basis for determining either a given subject's choice of option or his behavior on its constituent learning measures. This conclusion raises many questions about past research relating to mediation theory, since this paradigm has been the basic one employed. (Authors)
