Martínez, Mauricio; Español, Silvia; Igoa, José-Manuel – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
Since birth, infants develop the ability to perceive a wide range of intersensory relations among various kinds of amodal temporal information. This study addresses the development of the ability to perceive duration-based intersensory relations. Three groups of infants, four, seven and 10 months old, participated in two trials of an intersensory…

Edgar, Elizabeth V.; Todd, James Torrence; Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Parent language input is a well-established predictor of child language development. Multisensory attention skills (MASks; intersensory matching, shifting and sustaining attention to audiovisual speech) are also known to be foundations for language development. However, due to a lack of appropriate measures, individual differences in these skills…

Thomas, Rhiannon L.; Misra, Reeva; Akkunt, Emine; Ho, Cristy; Spence, Charles; Bremner, Andrew J. – Developmental Science, 2018
An ability to detect the common location of multisensory stimulation is essential for us to perceive a coherent environment, to represent the interface between the body and the external world, and to act on sensory information. Regarding the tactile environment "at hand", we need to represent somatosensory stimuli impinging on the skin…

Age-Related Changes on a Children's Test of Sensory-Level Speech Perception Capacity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hnath-Chisolm, Theresa E.; Laipply, Erin; Boothroyd, Arthur – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
A study used the Three-Interval Forced-Choice Test of Speech Pattern Contrast Perception (THRIFT) to examine sensory-level speech-perception performance under the input modalities of hearing alone, speech-reading alone, and the two combined in 44 children (ages 5-10). Within each condition there were significant influences of age on performance…

Initial Development of the Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dunn, Winnin; Daniels, Debora B. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2002
Parents of 401 infants and toddlers completed the 81-item Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile. Findings suggest that 48 items best characterized sensory processing for children 7-36 months, whereas 36 items appeared relevant for children birth-6 months. Reliability analyses were consistent with clusters identified in Dunn's model of sensory processing…

Case, Robbie – 1973
This paper presents a study using a neo-Piagetian theory to analyze the micro-structure underlying Piaget's "control of variables" scheme. Data are presented which support the conclusion that young children are capable of acquiring and utilizing this scheme before they acquire Conservation of Weight, that is, providing (1) that the…
