Briars, Diane; Siegler, Robert S. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Investigates preschoolers' knowledge of counting principles by examining their ability to discriminate between features essential for correct counting and features typically present but unessential. Skill in executing the standard counting procedure was found to precede knowledge of the underlying principle. (Author/AS)

Richmond, Glenn – Journal of the Association for People with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1983
Twenty developmentally retarded preschool children were trained on two visual discriminations with automated instruction and two discriminations with human instruction. Results showed human instruction significantly better than automated instruction. Nine Ss reached criterion for both discriminations with automated instruction, therefore showing…

Riley, Christine A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1976
The question of how children represent and use comparative or partially ordered information is examined. Two experiments tested a conjecture that a common representation, a linear order, underlies the processing of all comparatives. (Author/MS)

Smiley, Sandra S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Investigated effects of dimensional dominance of stimuli and subject's ages in initial and shift learning of discrimination tasks. (DP)

Melnick, Gerald I. – Child Development, 1973
An extension of discrimination-learning theory based on the inhibition of stimulus intensity was proposed and supported as a mechanism of cognitive development. Among 48 normal and 37 educable mentally retarded children the predominant category of transistional children conserved at a low level of stimulus intensity but failed to conserve at a…

Fein, Greta – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Studies based on an analysis of one species of learning and transfer task, the transposition problem, in terms of two ways in which the experimenter's and the child's definition may differ. (Author)

White, Raymond M., Jr.; Schmidt, Stephen W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results of two experiments show that only postinformative feedback intervals to be significant sources of variation; mean trends appeared to indicate that extended preresponse intervals interfere with performance, if anything. (Authors/MB)

Laishley, Jenny – Race, 1971
Study focuses on children aged 3 to 5 years from 3 London areas. Contrary to expectation, awareness of differences in skin color was not a simple function of age and contact with colored children and adults; no clear evidence of prejudiced thinking was found in the subjects studied. (RJ)
