Peer reviewedTyler, J.; Hardy, R. C. – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1977
To investigate developmental changes across age and sex in acquisition of form discrimination, 40 children aged 3 and 4 were presented with a rotated, letter-like form discrimination matching task. (JC)

Peer reviewedAllen, Prudence; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1989
Comparison of the auditory frequency resolving ability of preschool children, school-aged children, and adults found data from children as young as three-years-old that were qualitatively indistinguishable from adult data though threshold estimates from young children were more variable from run to run than from adults. Increasing age improved…

Peer reviewedDavis, Sylvia M.; McCroskey, Robert L. – Child Development, 1980
Focuses on auditory fusion (defined in terms of a listerner's ability to distinguish paired acoustic events from single acoustic events) in 3- to 12-year-old children. The subjects listened to 270 pairs of tones controlled for frequency, intensity, and duration. (CM)

Peer reviewedKendler, Howard H.; Guenther, Kim – Child Development, 1980
One hundred and sixty subjects from five age levels ranging from 3 to 20 years compared photographs of dogs (e.g., two different Great Danes or a Great Dane and a Doberman pinscher) and judged whether they were similar or different. (Author/MP)
Descriptors: Adolescents, Adults, Age Differences, Children
Peer reviewedCornell, Edward H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Subjects of this study were 19- and 23-week-old infants. Results showed that the older infants demonstrated differential attention to novel over familiar stimuli during recognition tests. An examination of their responsiveness during familiarization presentations indicated differing trends of looking activity. (Author/CS)

Peer reviewedMcGraw, Kenneth O.; McCullers, John C. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
To determine whether the distraction effect associated with material rewards in discrimination learning can account for the superior performance of reward groups in probability learning, the performance of 144 school children (preschool, second, and fifth grades) on a two-choice successive discrimination task was compared under three reinforcement…

BECAUSE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COLOR IN PICTORIAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS WAS INDETERMINATE, 5 EXPERIMENTS WERE DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE EFFECTS OF COLOR CUE RELEVANCE (DEFINED AS A CORRELATION OVER TRIALS BETWEEN PRESENTATION OF A GIVEN STIMULUS CUE AND REINFORCEMENT OF A PARTICULAR RESPONSE) ON PAIRED-ASSOCIATE LEARNING. OTHER INDEPENDENT VARIABLES…

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 reviewedRogers, C. Jean; Johnson, Peder J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Purpose of the present experiment was to compare performance of four- and six-year-olds on a conjunctive concept task in which the two relevant values were either within a single dimension (unidimensional) or from two different dimensions (bidimensional). (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)

Kendler, Howard H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results offer strong support to the notion that ontogenetic changes occur in the tendency for humans to prefer an Intradimensional over an Extradimensional choice in an optional discrimination shift paradigm. (Authors)
