Peer reviewedPassman, Richard H. – Developmental Psychology, 1977
The effects of the presence of an attachment object upon preschoolers' emotionality and discrimination performance in a novel learning situation were evaluated. Blanket-attached and blanket-nonattached children were assigned to one of three task conditions: (1) mother present, (2) blanket present, (3) no familiar object present. (Author/SB)

The effect of shape of frame on orientation discriminations was investigated for 56 preschool children. (JMB)

Peer reviewedRuff, Holly A. – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Two studies investigated three- and five-month-old infants' ability to discriminate and recognize different motions of rigid objects. Also explored was the nature of stimulus information which makes such discrimination and recognition possible. The results are discussed in terms of disruptions in the optic array. (Author/DST)

Peer reviewedRose, Susan A.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1978
Responsivity to graded tactile stimuli was examined in human newborns in successive epochs of active and quiet sleep. Heart rate and behavior were both used as response indices. (Author/SS)

Peer reviewedGollin, Eugene S.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1974
The solution of relational size problems was facilitated when children were told to find the smallest member of the series. Children who could not do so could not solve the problem. (ST)

Peer reviewedKendler, Tracy S.; Ward, James W. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
The orderly increase in the proportion of subjects who make optional reversal shifts over an age scale that now encompasses a range from 3 to 18 is confirmed. (Authors)

Peer reviewedBerman, Phyllis W. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
The age effect in this study was such that younger children required proportionately more experience with reward than nonreward before they were able to improve their performance on reward problems over six sessions. (Author)

Peer reviewedHamilton, Marshall L. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
A child's history of reinforcement is regarded as setting a standard that determines what current rates of reinforcement will be deprivational or satiational for him. (Author)

Peer reviewedBrynat, P. E.; Raz, I. – Developmental Psychology, 1975
Simultaneous and successive visual and tactual shape discrimination were examined in this study which replicated with modifications an earlier study. When ceiling effects were precluded, data support the conclusion that children often find it more difficult to discriminate shapes by touch than by vision. (GO)

Peer reviewedKatz, Phyllis A. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
The prediction was confirmed that young children would experience more difficulty in learning to discriminate faces of another race than those of their own. Additional findings revealed that discrimination-learning performance with racial stimuli is related to a number of factors including developmental level, race of the subject, and race of the…
