Direct linkFountain, Stephen B.; Benson, Don M., Jr. – Learning and Motivation, 2006
Nonhuman animals, like humans, appear sensitive to the structure of the elements of sequences, perhaps even when the structure relates nonadjacent elements. In the present study, we examined the contribution of chunking, rule learning, and item memory when rats learned serial patterns composed of two interleaved subpatterns. In one group, the…

Peer reviewedFagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1974
Recognition memory, defined by novelty preferences, was found to vary over 4 discrimination tasks as a function of length of familiarization for 5-6-month-old infants. (ST)

Peer reviewedSwoboda, Philip J.; And Others – Child Development, 1978
The role of memory factors in the vowel discrimination of normal and at-risk 8-week-old infants was examined by studying the categorical versus continuous discrimination of very brief vowels in a nonnutritive sucking paradigm. Discrimination of the silent delay interval between the last familiar and the first novel stimulus was also examined.…

Previous research has demonstrated that requiring children to trace from memory the correct member of a pictorial discrimination pair markedly facilitates performance. The subjects for the first experiment in this study were 45 fifth grade students. The control group was given regular discrimination learning instructions. The image-trace group was…

Peer reviewedHalliday, M. S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
Three experiments are reported on behavioral inference in children of 3 to 5 years of age. In each experiment the children learned two separate sequences of behavior which they were required to put together in the final test stage in order to obtain a reward. (MS)

Peer reviewedFitzgerald, Joseph M. – Child Development, 1977
This study assessed the predictive utility of a classification-based model versus a representational memory-based model to account for the effects of verbal training on the acquired equivalence and distinctiveness paradigms. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedMurray, Frank S.; Lee, Tommie Shelton – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
Results of a study of recognition memory showed that 3-year-old children were able to discriminate schematic faces, but were not able to use this knowledge unless given training in attaching labels to the stimuli to enable them to store the information for later use. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedNelson, Charles A.; Salapatek, Philip – Child Development, 1986
When six-month-old infants are preexposed to one stimulus, they are later able to remember that stimulus and distinguish it from a previously unseen, novel stimulus; degree of experience with one stimulus and the magnitude of novelty effect positively covary. Neurological substrates of infants' memory skills are described. (RH)

Peer reviewedWilliamson, Ann M.; McKenzie, B. E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1979
Three experiments examined the effect of different kinds of background features on children's orientation discrimination. A fourth experiment tested the hypothesis that errors in discrimination of obliques can be attributed mainly to confusion over the left-right direction of tilt. Subjects were 160 five-year-old and 20 seven-year-old children.…
