The Perception of Stimulus Shape: The Influence of Velocity of Stimulus Movement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Byrne, Joseph M.; Horowitz, Frances Degen – Child Development, 1984
Examines discrimination of geometric shapes by three-month-old infants who were presented with geometric stimuli moving laterally at two different velocities. Finds that subjects discriminate between geometric forms at velocities that, according to previous findings, might interfere with shape discrimination. Discusses the possible interactive…

Effects of a Modified Fading Procedure on Two-Choice Discrimination Performance of Toddler-Age Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Roger A.; Filler, John W., Jr. – Child Development, 1975
This study is an initial investigation of the effects of a fading procedure upon acquisition and transfer of discrimination learning with children younger than 36 months of age. (CS)

Auditory-Visual Transfer in Four-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mendelson, Morton J.; Ferland, Mark B. – Child Development, 1982
Twenty-seven 4-month-old infants heard a repetitive auditory rhythm, then viewed silent film of puppet opening/closing its mouth, either in the familiar rhythm or a novel rhythm. Results showed infants exposed to the novel condition watched the film longer than infants shown the familiar condition, providing evidence for auditory-visual transfer…

The Facilitation of Selective Attention in Preschoolers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Woody-Ramsey, Janet; Miller, Patricia H. – Child Development, 1988
Studies the allocation of attention of 100 four- and five-year-olds on a selective attention task. Results suggest that preschoolers are capable of using selective strategies when the task is made meaningful by the inclusion of a familiar script that provides supportive cognitive context. (RJC)

Discrimination Learning in Two-Year-Olds
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Daehler, Marvin W.; Bukatko, Danuta – Child Development, 1974
Discrimination learning studied in 3-year-olds, indicated that children over 30 months of age did better than younger children, and girls learned faster than boys after the first problem. (ST)

Bimodal Perception in Infancy: Response to Auditory-Visual Incongruity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lyons-Ruth, Karlen – Child Development, 1977
This study tested the assimilation of an auditory-visual stimulus configuration in 32 infants aged 15 to 16 weeks. The infants' discrimination of matched and mismatched auditory-visual stimuli indicated that infants by 4 months of age are capable of constructing bimodal schemata. (JMB)

Serial Habituation in Two-, Three-, and Four-Month-Old Infants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Dolores J.; And Others – Child Development, 1976
Serial habituation of visual fixations was investigated through a design permitting cross-sectional, within-subject longitudinal, cohort longitudinal, and time-lag analyses. Results suggested that for all ages habituation was under way to the parts of the stimulus in order of the realitive saliencies. No one methodology appeared to significantly…

The Effects of Distraction and Added Perceptual Cues on the Delayed Reaction of Very Young Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

The Salience of Orientation in Young Children's Perception of Form
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McGurk, Harry – Child Development, 1972
Results indicate that for children in this study's age range orientation is a less salient discriminative cue than either size or color. (Author/MB)

The Effects of Stimulus Variability on Overgeneralization and Overdiscrimination Errors in Children and Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Novack, Thomas A.; Richman, Charles L. – Child Development, 1980
Tests the effects of stimulus variability on overgeneralization and overdiscrimination errors in children and adults. The subjects (n=64), adults and five-, seven-, and nine-year-old children, participated in a visual discrimination task. (CM)

Position Strategies in an Object Discrimination Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carmean, Stephen L.; Carmean, C. Jean – Child Development, 1971
Results of 5 experiments supported the hypothesis that many nonlearners in a multipair visual discrimination learning task were following position rather than object strategies and that it was possible to predict individual subjects' strategies from previous performances. (Authors)

Hemispheric Asymmetry in a Face Discrimination Task in Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
de Schonen, Scania; Mathivet, Eric – Child Development, 1990
Confirms the existence of a right-hemisphere advantage in the process of discriminating between face stimuli. The advantage was weaker in females than in males. No hemispheric transfer of learning was observed. Subjects were 18 infants of 42 weeks who were presented with an operant conditioning situation in which they discriminated between their…
