Descriptors: Discrimination Learning, Elementary Education, Kindergarten Children, Memory
Peer reviewedBohannon, John Neil, III – Child Development, 1976
This study examined the relationship between syntax discrimination and other language skills with 50 children each in kindergarten, first grade and second grade. Also, the children were asked to imitate and show comprehension of normal and scrambled grammar sentences. (Author/JH)

Peer reviewedSwoboda, Philip J.; And Others – Child Development, 1976
This study investigated vowel discrimination in 8-week-old infants. Using a nonnutritive, high-amplitude sucking measure in a habituation-dishabituation paradigm. (Author/SB)

Peer reviewedEgeland, Byron – Child Development, 1974
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)

Peer reviewedLarson, Stephen; Hudson, Floyd G. – Child Development, 1973
Studied the relationship between auditory ability and oral form discrimination in children with varying degrees of speech and language development. Results lend support to motor theory of speech perception. (ST)

Peer reviewedWoody-Ramsey, Janet; Miller, Patricia H. – Child Development, 1988
Studies the allocation of attention of 100 four- and five-year-olds on a selective attention task. Results suggest that preschoolers are capable of using selective strategies when the task is made meaningful by the inclusion of a familiar script that provides supportive cognitive context. (RJC)

Peer reviewedDaehler, Marvin W.; Bukatko, Danuta – Child Development, 1974
Discrimination learning studied in 3-year-olds, indicated that children over 30 months of age did better than younger children, and girls learned faster than boys after the first problem. (ST)

Peer reviewedLevy, Jeffrey C. – Child Development, 1975
This study tested the hypothesized relationship between overt sensorimotor ordering experiences and relational responding in preschool children. (Author/CS)

Peer reviewedBohannon, John Neil, III – Child Development, 1975
This study examined the effects of sentence length and correct syntax on sentence imitation in 54 first-, second-, and fifth-grade elementary school children. The same children were asked to perform an additional discrimination task between normal and scrambled sentences. (Author/CS)

Peer reviewedLyons-Ruth, Karlen – Child Development, 1977
This study tested the assimilation of an auditory-visual stimulus configuration in 32 infants aged 15 to 16 weeks. The infants' discrimination of matched and mismatched auditory-visual stimuli indicated that infants by 4 months of age are capable of constructing bimodal schemata. (JMB)

Peer reviewedTrehub, Sandra E.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Two experiments involving a total of 177 infants 8 to 11 months of age found that subjects used a global processing strategy like adults' in discriminating transformations of a six-tone melody. Subjects needed melodic contour and frequency range to judge new sequences, but, in easy tasks, they also used absolute frequency. (CB)

Peer reviewedMiller, Dolores J.; And Others – Child Development, 1976
Serial habituation of visual fixations was investigated through a design permitting cross-sectional, within-subject longitudinal, cohort longitudinal, and time-lag analyses. Results suggested that for all ages habituation was under way to the parts of the stimulus in order of the realitive saliencies. No one methodology appeared to significantly…
