Developmental Changes in the Processing of Hierarchical Shapes Continue into Adolescence.

Mondloch, Catherine J.; Geldart, Sybil; Maurer, Daphne; de Schonen, Scania

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v84 n1 p20-40 Jan 2003

Three experiments obtained same-different judgments from children and adults to trace normal development of local and global processing of hierarchical visual forms. Findings indicated that reaction time was faster on global trials than local trials; bias was stronger in children and diminished to adult levels between ages 10 and 14. Reaction time was faster on local trials when stimuli were presented in the right visual field. (Author/KB)
