Visual Perception of Numerosity in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
van Loosbroek, Erik; Smitsman, Ad. W. – Developmental Psychology, 1990
Infants were tested at 5, 8, and 13 months of age for numerosity perception. Subjects observed displayed figures on a screen moving at constant speed with irregular trajectories and occasional occlusions. Results demonstrated that discrimination of units, and not of characteristic patterns, underlies numerosity perception. (BC)

Auditory Pattern Classification: Continuity of Prototype Use with Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Williams, Tannis MacBeth; Aiken, Leona S. – Developmental Psychology, 1975
Development of the ability to classify auditory patterns was studied at grades 2, 6, 10, and 12 and at adult age levels. Both accuracy and feature use in classification were consistent across age; the age changes that did occur appeared to be due to differences in perception rather than process. (JMB)

Rileigh, Kathryn K.; Odom, Penelope B. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
