Peer reviewedFantz, Robert L.; Fagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1975
Tests the hypothesis that age-related shifts in infants' visual preferences for stimuli (varying in complexity as defined by number of light-dark intersections) are due to changing attention value both within and between the inversely varying dimensions of size and number. (Author/ED)

Peer reviewedField, Jeffery – Child Development, 1977
Infants aged 3, 5, and 7 months were shown solid objects and comparable intangible images of objects both within and beyond possible arm's reach. The infants' emotional reactions and reaching behavior in the presence of the image stimuli were found to be very similar to their responses to the solid objects. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedPillow, Bradford H.; Flavell, John H. – Child Development, 1986
Four experiments investigated three- and four-year-old children's knowledge of projective size-distance and projective shape-orientation relationships. Results indicated that preschool children's understanding of these relationships seems at least partly cognitive rather than wholly perceptive, providing further evidence for the acquisition of…

Peer reviewedHopkins, J. Roy; And Others – Child Development, 1976
The reactions of 112 10-month-old male infants to the property of curvature were examined using a habituation paradigm with lever pressing as an instrumental response. (SB)

Developmental Change in Infant Categorization: The Perception of Correlations among Facial Features.
Peer reviewedYounger, Barbara – Child Development, 1992
Tested 7 and 10 month olds for perception of correlations among facial features. After habituation to faces displaying a pattern of correlation, 10 month olds generalized to a novel face that preserved the pattern of correlation but showed increased attention to a novel face that violated the pattern.

Peer reviewedBausano, Mary K.; Jeffrey, Wendell E. – Child Development, 1975
In an evaluation of the relation between dimensional salience and preschoolers' judgments of bigness, 3-year-old children were shown triads of rectangles and asked to select the "big" one. The biggest rectangle in each triad was neither the tallest nor the widest. (JMB)

Peer reviewedMendelson, Morton J.; Haith, Marshall M. – Child Development, 1975
The relationship between neonatal visual information-processing and the burst-pause pattern of nonnutritive sucking was explored. (JMB)

Peer reviewedOdom, Richard D.; And Others – Child Development, 1975
Studied the effects of the relative and absolute salience of three dimensions (form, color and position) on the ability of four- and six-year-olds to employ multiplicative classification. (CW)

Peer reviewedCornell, Edward H. – Child Development, 1975
An investigation of 4-month-old children's attention responses to pattern dimensions and orientations by comparing the duration of an infant's fixation to changes in the orientation and structural arrangement of a previously exposed pattern. (ED)
Descriptors: Attention, Dimensional Preference, Infant Behavior, Pattern Recognition
Peer reviewedFagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1977
This paper presents a model of infant visual recognition which proposes that an infant faced with a novel and a previously exposed target responds with one "look" consisting of a chain of 2 covert responses: (1) an attentional observing response to a dimension and (2) a fixation response to a cue. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedSlater, Alan; Sykes, Margaret – Child Development, 1977
A series of experiments is described whose aim was to define certain of the effective dimensions of stimulation in the newborn's visual environment. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedWimmer, Heinz – Child Development, 1988
A sharp improvement in children's understanding of the role of visual perception and linguistic communication in knowledge functions was found between the ages of three and five years. (PCB)

Peer reviewedMacKay-Soroka, Sherri; And Others – Child Development, 1982
Investigates the effect of the relationship between conditions at encoding (familiarization) and retrieval (test) with regard to infants' performance on a paired-comparison recognition test. Subjects were 32 male and 32 female infants between 8.7 and 10.3 months of age. (MP)
