Children's Perception of Motion in Unidirectional, Two- and Three-Pitch Melodic Patterns and the Related Effects of Change in Timbre, Loudness, and Duration.
Williams, David Brian – 1977
Three experiments examined the effects of selected factors of interval size, timbre, loudness, and length of the melodic pattern on children's ability to perceive, the motion of 2- and 3-pitch melodic patterns. Subjects for all experiments were 32 second- and 32 fifth-grade children. The task for each experiment consisted of identifying the motion…

Perceptual Sensitivity to Dimensional and Similarity Relations in Free and Rule-Governed Classifications.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cook, Gregory L.; Odom, Richard D. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1988
Two experiments investigated perceptual primacy of dimensional and similarity relations in stimulus classifications of younger and older subjects. Results support a differential-sensitivity view of perceptual development which asserts that individuals at all ages primarily perceive and use separate relations. (RWB)
