Peer reviewedHusaim, John S.; Cohen, Leslie B. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1981
The ability of preverbal infants to form and use ill-defined categories, to respond differentially to contrasting categories, and to use specific dimensions in learning these categories is examined in 20 infants 10 months of age. Results show that infants are not only capable of learning two ill-defined categories, but that they can do so with…

Peer reviewedBarrera, Maria E.; Maurer, Daphne – Child Development, 1981
Visual preference and habituation paradigms were used to investigate the ability of three-month-olds to recognize the photographed face of the mother and to discriminate it from another face. Infants discriminated between the pictures of the mother and a stranger, both in the preference test and in the recognition test after habituation.…

Peer reviewedSchreibman, Laura; Charlop, Marjorie H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Results indicated that, for all but one of eight autistic children, visual discriminations were acquired significantly faster, with fewer errors, when the S+ stimulus was faded first. These findings are related to the literature on the effects of stimulus novelty on selection and learning. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewedHillenbrand, James; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1979
Six- to 7-month-old infants were tested on their ability to discriminate among three speech sounds which differed on the basis of formant-transition duration, a major cue to distinctions among stop, semivowel, and diphthong classes. (Author/PHR)

Peer reviewedEstes, Katherine W. – Child Development, 1976
The information load analysis of a discrimination-learning situation was studied by comparing speed of learning with a conventional reinforcement procedure and an inseparable reinforcer. Results showed more rapid learning by 4- to 6-year-olds with the inseparable reinforcer on earlier problems in a series and greater effect on more difficult…

Peer reviewedSmeets, Paul M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Progressively delayed extra-stimulus prompts were used to help kindergarten children discriminate left-right mirror-image stimuli in four experiments. Results showed that most subjects rapidly learned to respond to the orientation prompts; delayed orientation prompting was always successful regardless of how the prompts were eliminated; and the…

Merrill, Edward C.; McCown, Steven M.; Kelley, Shirley – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2001
Sixteen adolescents with mental retardation and 16 typical adolescents participated in a negative priming procedure in two experiments. Unlike previous studies, this study found that subjects exhibited inhibition under instructions to respond on the basis of stimulus identity in a manner similar to that of individuals without mental retardation.…
