Peer reviewedGreenberg, David J.; Blue, Sima Z. – Child Development, 1975
To examine the relationship between visual attention in infancy and the stimulus variables of contour and numerosity, 2- and 4-month-olds were placed in three experimental conditions. The results showed that contour and numerosity, acting in tandem, are responsible for the age-complexity shift observed by previous investigators of infant…

Results indicate that children's preferences were relatively stable over time. (Authors/MB)

Peer reviewedBeagles-Roos, Jessica; Greenfield, Patricia Marks – Developmental Psychology, 1979
The development of two structural principles, hierarchical complexity and interruption, was examined in a new domain: two-dimensional pictures. Subjects were 60 4-to 5 1/2-year-old children. (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedMontanelli, Dale Soderman – Developmental Psychology, 1972
The specific hypothesis tested by this research is that children are able to attend to multiple cues simultaneously and are able to use the information contained in these cues. (Author)

As children grow older they show an increasing preference for classifying objects on the basis of shape rather than color. To clarify the nature of this "dimension preference," children of ages 3 1/2 to 6 1/2 years were given a method of triads test of dimension preferences, followed (after a week's delay) by a component selection task. The most…

This investigation also studied the relationship between gestational age and preferences for contour. (CB)

Peer reviewedGholson, Barry; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
In the course of two experiments, groups of kindergarten, second, fourth, sixth grade and college students received several discrimination problems to investigate hypothesis testing behavior. (Authors/MB)

Peer reviewedMiller, Patricia H. – Child Development, 1973
Results show that both kindergarten nonconservers and kindergarten conservers found height most salient. Third-grade conservers found quantity most salient but could easily attend to height and width. (Author/CB)

Uses the transposition paradigm to compare the influence of the adjectives "same" and "different" on the test choice of 5- and 9-year-old children. (Author/SDH)

Katsuyama, Ronald M.; Reid, Amy – 1976
Purposes of this study are to determine the effects of (1) preassessed dimensional salience upon performance in a bi-dimensional matching task, and (2) pretraining conditions expected to facilitate bi-dimensional processing. An additional aim was to elucidate a model of development involving changing salience hierarchies by comparing the effects…

Presolution reversal prevented or significantly retarded learning in kindergarten and first-grade children but did not hinder learning in fifth-grade children. (Authors)

Peer reviewedSmiley, Sandra S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Major finding of this study is that relative cue similarity can be used as a definition of dimensional dominance and that it predicts both initial learning and shift behavior for normal first- and third-grade children. (Author)

Miller, Asenath A.; Starzec, James J. – 1974
Children's performance on multidimensional classification tasks was examined in two experiments. In Experiment 1, preschool, first-, and third-grade children were shown a standard stimulus and were then asked to judge whether several comparison stimuli were the same as or different from the standard. Comparison stimuli differed from the standard…

Peer reviewedBartol, Curt; Pielstick, N. L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
It was concluded that previous explanations of visual exploration or stimulus preference have been oversimplified, and studies on the whole have failed to take into account a crucial interaction between sex and age variables. (Authors)
