Functional Significance of Stimulus Orientation: Effects on Orientation Discrimination.

Ryan, Ann Stoy; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v27 n3 p512-26 Jun 1979

Forty elementary children (six and nine year olds) and 20 college students were required to discriminate identical pairs of visual stimuli from mirror images. It was hypothesized that a key factor in performance would be the extent to which orientation was a functionally significant attribute of the stimuli. (Author/MP)
