This study focused on the influence of gender schemas on children's abilities to focus their attention away from or toward stimuli containing the dimension of gender. Children identified as gender schematic and aschematic participated in a nonreversal discrimination learning paradigm in which one relevant dimension was gender-relevant and another…

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 reviewedRogers, C. Jean; Johnson, Peder J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Purpose of the present experiment was to compare performance of four- and six-year-olds on a conjunctive concept task in which the two relevant values were either within a single dimension (unidimensional) or from two different dimensions (bidimensional). (Authors)

Novak, Marilyn J.; Offenbach, Stuart I. – 1975
This study examines the effects of initial response training and criterion training on the discrimination shift performance of preschool children; results are discussed in terms of differing theoretical orientation. After an initial task involving either criterion training or response training, 109 subjects were presented with either…

Hale, Gordon A.; Taweel, Suzanne S. – 1972
A component selection measure developed by Hale and Morgan (1971) was used to determine children's tendency to exercise selective attention. This tendency was assessed at six different levels of training, ranging from undertraining to overtraining, and was examined at each of three ages--4 (N=116), 8 (N=216), and 12 (N=104). In the learning phase,…

Object Recognition and Attention to Object Components by Preschool Children and 4-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewedHaaf, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
This study investigated attention to and recognition of components in compound stimuli among infants and preschoolers. Oddity tasks with preschoolers and familiarization/novelty-preference tasks with infants demonstrated successful discrimination among stimuli components on basis of edge property information. Matching tasks with preschoolers and…
