Peer reviewedFagen, Jeffrey W. – Child Development, 1980
Four-month-old infants' stimulus preferences were assessed using an operant paradigm with mobile reinforcers of different colors (blue, green). (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedBausano, Mary K.; Jeffrey, Wendell E. – Child Development, 1975
In an evaluation of the relation between dimensional salience and preschoolers' judgments of bigness, 3-year-old children were shown triads of rectangles and asked to select the "big" one. The biggest rectangle in each triad was neither the tallest nor the widest. (JMB)

Results clearly show a preference for correctly classified familiar shapes over their novel counterparts. (Authors)

Peer reviewedLight, Paul; Foot, Teresa – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Reports on three experiments involving 300 six-year old children that investigated the conditions under which young children would produce "separates" as opposed to partial occlusion drawings. (HOD)

Peer reviewedLewkowicz, David J.; Turkewitz, Gerald – Child Development, 1981
Investigates intersensory interaction between auditory and visual stimulation in newborn infants. Following auditory stimulation, newborns' visual preferences for light patches of different intensity were examined. Results indicate that newborns attend to quantitative variations in stimulation and that these variations reflect both the objective…

PDF pending restorationOlsho, Lynne Werner – 1979
This study followed the development of visual preferences in a single infant from birth to 10 weeks of age. The stimuli used were 5 x 10 item arrays of squares of lines in which a 3 x 3 target matrix of the other figure type (line or square) was embedded. The direction of first fixation and the total time spent looking at each side were determined…

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

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)

This study was designed to determine if the failure of previous investigations to find habituation and response to novelty in infants younger than 2 months of age was because the stimuli used were too complex or because a constant number of trials rather than an individual criterion of habituation was used. A total of 24 infants between 5 and 6…
