Peer reviewedChen, L. – Science, 1982
Three experiments on tachistoscopic perception of visual stimuli demonstrate that the visual system is sensitive to global topological properties. The results indicate that extraction of global topological properties is a basic factor in perceptual organization. (Author)

Peer reviewedCarr, Thomas H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982
The encoding mechanism involved in perceptual recognition of words and pictures was investigated. Latencies in naming targets were analyzed as a function of several characteristics of a preceding prime. Results indicated that a common semantic code is available that can represent the meaning of either a word or a picture. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedCourchesne, Eric; And Others – Child Development, 1981
Differences in response of four- to seven-month-old infants to tachistoscopically presented photographs of two human faces suggest infants were able to remember a frequently presented face from trial to trial and discriminate it from a discrepant, infrequently presented face. Findings suggest event-related brain potential (ERP) responses could…

The efficacy of gating in the processing of simple, multidimensional stimuli was investigated. In Experiment 1, a continuous classification task was used, with subjects sorting cards according to binary dimensions of line orientation and location. Results suggested that orientation and location are integral dimensions, facilitation occurring with…

Peer reviewedEgeth, Howard E.; Santee, Jeffrey L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Effects of target-noise similarity on the ability to discriminate between two target letters were investigated. Performance was low when the noise letter shared the same name as the target. Thus, interletter interference effects cannot be explained in terms of inhibition between visual features. A "cognitive masking" hypothesis is proposed.…

Peer reviewedBadcock, David; Lovegrove, William – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
The effects of stimulus duration and contrast on duration of visible persistence as a function of spatial frequency were investigated in normal and specific-reading-disabled children. Results suggest that disabled readers have different contrast processing at low and high spatial frequencies and indicate differences between readers in basic visual…

Peer reviewedSchvaneveldt, Roger W.; McDonald, James E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Earlier research with the lexical decision task led to the hypothesis that semantic context facilitates the encoding of words related to the context. Six experiments which employed different tasks (e.g., making a lexical decision) and different experimental paradigms (e.g., tachistoscopic exposures with masking stimuli) further investigated this…

HOLMES, DAVID S.; AND OTHERS – 1967
THREE STUDIES OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN ARE INCLUDED IN THIS EVALUATION REPORT. (1) "'NEURAL CONDUCTIVITY' AND ACHIEVEMENT IN CULTURALLY DEPRIVED STUDENTS." NEURAL CONDUCTIVITY WAS INFERRED FROM A CORRELATION BETWEEN PUPILLARY RESPONSE AND CHILDREN'S PRESCHOOL PERFORMANCE. COMPLICATIONS IN ACQUIRING AND USING THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT RESULTED…

Peer reviewedHatae, Tereza Iochico; Hatta, Takeshi – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The effect of parafoveal noise information on a Hirakana target-recognition task was investigated in good and poor readers from first and second grades. A differential effect of parafoveal noise produced a longer or shorter variation in reaction time depending on kind of surrounding material. Filtering mechanism efficiency differences are…

Travers, Robert M. W. – 1969
Beginning with a survey of work previously done on the subject, this study attempts to learn more about how, and to what extent, children benefit from pictorial illustrations, with a view to improving instructional materials. Three areas were investigated with experiments using children from nursery schools and kindergarten to sixth grade. The…
