Peer reviewedGreenberg, David J.; And Others – Child Development, 1973
To demonstrate a relationship between rate of habituation and complexity levels, 11-week-old infants (N=51) were each given a rate-of-habituation and complexity-level test. Rapid habituators looked longer at complex patterns. Irregular habituators responded randomly to tests or resembled slow habituators in terms of complexity preferred. (ST)

A system of translation using the computer to assist but not replace the translator is described. Each of the system's three levels incorporates successively more sophisticated translation aids, all under the translator's control. The third level incorporates a full machine translator. (MSE)

Peer reviewedFoley, Mary Ann; And Others – Child Development, 1983
Demonstrated that six-year-olds performed as well as 17-year-olds in discriminating self-generated memories from memories that were the result of external presentation. However, six-year-olds were not as adept as nine-year-olds in discriminating what they had said earlier from what they had only thought. (Author/MP)

The complexity of information structures and their realizations will affect reading difficulty and should be incorporated into…
