Peer reviewedColombo, John; Frick, Janet E.; Gorman, Sheila A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1997
Examined possibility that arousability as manifested in sensitization contributes to individual differences in infants' attentional profiles. Sensitization tended to occur more frequently with more complex than with less complex checkerboards. Infants showing sensitization looked longer and did not habituate as readily as infants who showed no…

Peer reviewedKaplan, Peter S.; Werner, John S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Tests infants' dual-process performance (a process mediating response decrements called habituation and a state-dependent process mediating response increments called sensitization) on visual habituation-dishabituation tasks. (HOD)

Peer reviewedTurati, Chiara; Simion, Francesca – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Four experiments investigated newborns' ability to discriminate, recognize, and learn visual information embedded in the schematic face-like patterns preferred at birth. Results indicated that newborns discriminated face-like stimuli relying on their internal features and recognized a perceptual invariance between face-like configurations in…
