Direct linkRuba, Ashley L.; Johnson, Kristin M.; Harris, Lasana T.; Wilbourn, Makeba Parramore – Developmental Psychology, 2017
For decades, scholars have examined how children first recognize emotional facial expressions. This research has found that infants younger than 10 months can discriminate negative, within-valence facial expressions in looking time tasks, and children older than 24 months struggle to categorize these expressions in labeling and free-sort tasks.…

Juttner, Martin; Wakui, Elley; Petters, Dean; Kaur, Surinder; Davidoff, Jules – Developmental Psychology, 2013
Three experiments assessed the development of children's part and configural (part-relational) processing in object recognition during adolescence. In total, 312 school children aged 7-16 years and 80 adults were tested in 3-alternative forced choice (3-AFC) tasks. They judged the correct appearance of upright and inverted presented familiar…

Apfelbaum, Evan P.; Pauker, Kristin; Ambady, Nalini; Sommers, Samuel R.; Norton, Michael I. – Developmental Psychology, 2008
The present research identifies an anomaly in sociocognitive development, whereby younger children (8 and 9 years) outperform their older counterparts (10 and 11 years) in a basic categorization task in which the acknowledgment of racial difference facilitates performance. Though older children exhibit superior performance on a race-neutral…

Peer reviewedDenney, Douglas R.; Moulton, Patricia A. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
This study attempted to determine whether a shift from complementary to similarity concepts occurred in preschool children prior to the shift from concrete-similarity to abstract-similarity concepts and had been observed among elementary school children. (Author/SB)

Peer reviewedOdom, Richard D.; Cook, Gregory L. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Assesses preschoolers' and adults' relative ability to solve classification problems in which a similarity criterion is the only criterion appropriate for solution. Also investigates effects of the salience of individual dimensions on solution-relevant similarity classifications. (AS)

Peer reviewedQuinn, Paul C.; Adams, Adria; Kennedy, Erin; Shettler, Lauren; Wasnik, Amanda – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Nine experiments examined 6- to 10-month-olds' formation of an abstract category representation for "between." Findings indicated that older, but not younger infants, could form an abstract category representation for "between" when performing in an object-variation version of the between categorization task. Six- to…

Peer reviewedAngelev, John; Kuhn, Deanna – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Looked for evidence of an intermediate stage between the second and third stages in multiple seriation during which subjects seriate the material on one dimension and classify it on the other. Fine grained analysis of stages is considered useful in elucidating the mechanisms of progression through a stage sequence. (GO)

Peer reviewedHall, D. Geoffrey; Lee, Sharon C.; Belanger, Julie – Developmental Psychology, 2001
Examined in six experiments toddlers' use of syntactic cues to learn proper names and count nouns. Found that by 24 months, both girls and boys were significantly more likely to select a labeled object if they had heard a proper name than if they had heard a count noun. At 20 months, neither girls nor boys demonstrated this effect. (Author/KB)

Peer reviewedLevin, Iris; Bus, Adriana G. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Compared 28- to 53-month-olds' writing and drawing. Scores on a writing scale composed of graphic, "writing-like," and symbolic schemes improved with age. Recognition of drawings as drawings preceded recognition of writings as writings. Writing and drawing scores were substantially correlated, even with age partialed out, suggesting that…

Peer reviewedJohnson, Kathy E.; Scott, Paul; Mervis, Carolyn B. – Developmental Psychology, 1997
Four studies examined developmental differences in the representation of basic-subordinate inclusion relationships in three-, five-, and seven-year olds and undergraduates. Found that even three-year olds showed rudimentary knowledge of the asymmetry of inclusion. There was a marked developmental gap between producing subordinate category names…
