Gaines, Rosslyn – J Exp Child Psychol, 1969
Though increasing complexity increased the difficulty of discrimination of form, nursery school, kindergarten, and first grade children were all above chance in performance, older children being superior. The results are discussed in relation to developmental perceptual theory. Portions of this paper were presented at the American Psychological…

Odom, Richard D.; Guzman, Richard D. – J Exp Child Psychol, 1970
Age and condition (either constancy-relevant or variability-relevant) interact, with the youngest group in the constancy-relevant condition performing most poorly on concept identification tasks. (MH)

Two studies involving 108 infants of 6, 9, and 12 months showed that providing infants with multiple action-relevant properties elicits a rich action repertoire. (RJC)

Two experiments comprised this study comparing the ability of children from ages 4 to 12 years to discriminate the order in which items from a previously presented sequence of stimuli had been presented. The hypotheses were that the discrimination of recency (DR) improves with age, that broader separations of test items are easier to discriminate…

Ruble, Diane N.; Nakamura, Charles Y. – 1972
This study examined variables related to problem-solving approaches of young children, using the theoretical framework provided by Zigler and his collaborators in their work on outerdirectedness. Four aspects of outerdirectedness were examined: developmental trends, effects of different types of reinforcement, effects of task difficulty, and pride…

Peer reviewedCronin, Virginia – Journal of the Association for the Study of Perception, 1982
Reports the results of two experiments dealing with children's visual and tactual performance. In the first task, after several presentations of a series, the tactual group made almost errorless discriminations. But with memory demands, tactual performance became poorer than visual performance. Found a large developmental difference. (JAC)

Jensen, Kai – 1968
Simple and complex learning and problem solving situations were employed with mentally retarded children and adults. In the Rotation-Discrimination Complex and the Size-Discrimination Simple experiments, upper and lower test achievement subgroups were subjected to two basic types of visual discrimination at different levels of task complexity.…
