Droit-Volet, Sylvie; Clement, Angelique; Fayol, Michel – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
This study tested 5- and 8-year-olds and adults in a bisection task with a sequence of stimuli in which time and number co-varied. Findings indicated that the number of stimuli interfered with 5-year-olds' performance on the temporal bisection task. Number interference decreased both with age and counting strategy. In the numerical bisection task,…

Smeets, Paul M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1988
Attempted to maximize the efficacy of time-delay discrimination training of 16 preschoolers. No indications were found of effects of precision response pretraining on the outcome of time delay of static cues. Transfer and lack of transfer of stimulus control were associated with nonshifts and shifts of response loci, respectively. (RH)

White, Raymond M., Jr.; Schmidt, Stephen W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results of two experiments show that only postinformative feedback intervals to be significant sources of variation; mean trends appeared to indicate that extended preresponse intervals interfere with performance, if anything. (Authors/MB)

Waber, Deborah P.; Weiler, Michael D.; Wolff, Peter H.; Bellinger, David; Marcus, David J.; Ariel, Raya; Forebes, Peter; Wypig, David – Child Development, 2001
Compared the processing of rapid auditory stimuli on two-tone auditory discrimination tasks by 7- to 11-year-olds with learning impairments (LI) and those without learning impairments (non-LI). Found that LI children committed more errors, but the effects of timing were comparable. Obtained same results with a sample of good and poor readers. Task…
