Peer reviewedFagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1974
Recognition memory, defined by novelty preferences, was found to vary over 4 discrimination tasks as a function of length of familiarization for 5-6-month-old infants. (ST)

Peer reviewedTighe, Thomas J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Two studies of 7-year-olds and college students tested the hypothesis of a developmental difference in the degree to which subjects' memory performance was controlled by categorical properties vs. specific instance properties of test items. (GO)

Peer reviewedGholson, Barry; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
In the course of two experiments, groups of kindergarten, second, fourth, sixth grade and college students received several discrimination problems to investigate hypothesis testing behavior. (Authors/MB)

Newtson, Darren; And Others – 1980
Competence in action perception seems to be achieved very early in life. Because research has indicated that competent perceivers of action must be able to discriminate breakpoints in behavior, then recognition memory for breakpoints should be superior to that for nonbreakpoints at all ages where competence in action perception exists. Two studies…

Discriminating between Action Memories: Children's Use of Kinesthetic Cues and Visible Consequences.
Peer reviewedFoley, Mary Ann; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1987
Two experiments examine the sorts of cues that might be available to facilitate children's ability to discriminate between memories for their own actions. Results suggest that the differences in discrimination performance demonstrate the importance of kinesthetic cues and visible consequences for children's memory discrimination. (Author/RWB)

Peer reviewedKemler, Deborah G. – Developmental Psychology, 1978
Three studies of elementary school children's problem-solving procedures in intentional discrimination tasks are reported. Subjects were children selected from kindergarten and grades 2, 3, and 6. (Author/MP)

PDF pending restorationChipman, Susan F.; And Others – 1977
Described are three experiments which probed children's sensitivity to structure or organization in visual patterns. Each experiment employed a different paradigm (complexity judgment, discrimination learning, recognition learning, and memory) in order to tap different aspects of children's use of structural information. Subjects were children in…

Object Recognition and Attention to Object Components by Preschool Children and 4-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewedHaaf, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
This study investigated attention to and recognition of components in compound stimuli among infants and preschoolers. Oddity tasks with preschoolers and familiarization/novelty-preference tasks with infants demonstrated successful discrimination among stimuli components on basis of edge property information. Matching tasks with preschoolers and…

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…
