Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Brannon, Elizabeth M.; Suanda, Sumarga; Libertus, Klaus – Developmental Science, 2007
Time perception is important for many aspects of human behavior, and a large literature documents that adults represent intervals and that their ability to discriminate temporal intervals is ratio dependent. Here we replicate a recent study by vanMarle and Wynn (2006 ) that used the visual habituation paradigm and demonstrated that temporal…

Mental Retardation and Inspection Time: A Two-Stage Model for Sensory Registration and Central Processing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nettelbeck, T.; McLean, J. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1984
Two studies involving 16 and 20 mildly mentally retarded young adults supported a two-stage model for the relatively simple discrimination tasks employed, with initial sensory registration preceding and independent from subsequent central processing. (CL)

Stimulus Orientation and the Apparent Developmental Lag Between Perception and Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strayer, Janet; Ames, Elinor W. – Child Development, 1972
Aim of the present study was to clarify the processes involved in the apparent lag in copying a diamond by reducing the lag experimentally with perceptual training of discrimination of orientation. (Authors)
