These results provide a more precise attentional interpretation of both preference and pretraining effects. (Authors)

Peer reviewedColdren, Jeffrey T.; Colombo, John – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
In three experiments, nine-month-old infants were trained to fixate on a particular feature in a pair of stimuli that varied along three dimensions. In a fourth experiment, infants were trained to fixate on a stimulus compound until reaching a learning criterion. Infants' discrimination learning under these conditions implied an ability to attend…

Peer reviewedColombo, John; And Others – Cognitive Development, 1995
Investigates the dominance of global versus local visual properties in four-month-old infants as a function of individual differences in fixation duration. Suggests that long-looking infants process visual information more slowly than short-looking infants, and there may be qualitative differences in the manner in which the two groups of infants…

Peer reviewedMarkson, Lori; Thompson, Laura A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Two experiments explored the nature of perceptual development in 5- and 10-year olds and adults. The primary finding was that preassessed salience significantly influenced 5-year olds' ability to discriminate two objects, while salience did not affect 10-year olds' or adults' response times. Results showed that salience effects in perceptual…
