Peer reviewedJones, Gillian; Smith, Peter K. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Investigates preschool children's ability (n = 30) to discriminate age, and subject's use of different facial areas in ranking facial photographs into age order. Results indicate subjects from 3 to 9 years can successfully rank the photos. Compared with other facial features, the eye region was most important for success in the age ranking task.…

Peer reviewedCornell, Edward H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Subjects of this study were 19- and 23-week-old infants. Results showed that the older infants demonstrated differential attention to novel over familiar stimuli during recognition tests. An examination of their responsiveness during familiarization presentations indicated differing trends of looking activity. (Author/CS)

Infants of 6 months and older can be said to have discriminated between different orientations of the same form. (Author)

Peer reviewedBornstein, Marc H.; Krinsky, Sharon J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Four experiments assessed converging aspects of four-month-old infants' perceptions of visual patterns. Results together corroborate and extend previous findings that vertical symmetry has a special status in early perceptual development and that infants can perceive pattern wholes. (Author/AS)

Peer reviewedAdams, Russell J.; Courage, Mary L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Habituated 180 neonates to white lights of varying luminance and tested for recovery of habituation to green, yellow, or red lights varying in excitation purity. Found that newborns discriminated chromatic stimuli from white only when excitation purity exceeded levels much higher than those for adults. Results reinforce view that neonates' vision…

Experiment was designed to provide some evidence that motor cortex involvement may facilitate visual perception during the period of perceptual learning. (Author)

Study investigated the effect of the stimulus variables of value, chroma, and hue in relation to sex, intelligence, and dimensional attention of kindergarten children using two reward conditions. (Author)

Peer reviewedTurati, Chiara; Simion, Francesca – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Four experiments investigated newborns' ability to discriminate, recognize, and learn visual information embedded in the schematic face-like patterns preferred at birth. Results indicated that newborns discriminated face-like stimuli relying on their internal features and recognized a perceptual invariance between face-like configurations in…

Peer reviewedMarkson, Lori; Thompson, Laura A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Two experiments explored the nature of perceptual development in 5- and 10-year olds and adults. The primary finding was that preassessed salience significantly influenced 5-year olds' ability to discriminate two objects, while salience did not affect 10-year olds' or adults' response times. Results showed that salience effects in perceptual…

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…
