Models Provide Specificity: Testing a Proposed Mechanism of Visual Working Memory Capacity Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Simmering, Vanessa R.; Patterson, Rebecca – Cognitive Development, 2012
Numerous studies have established that visual working memory has a limited capacity that increases during childhood. However, debate continues over the source of capacity limits and its developmental increase. Simmering (2008) adapted a computational model of spatial cognitive development, the Dynamic Field Theory, to explain not only the source…

Developmental Changes in Face Recognition during Childhood: Evidence from Upright and Inverted Faces
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
de Heering, Adelaide; Rossion, Bruno; Maurer, Daphne – Cognitive Development, 2012
Adults are experts at recognizing faces but there is controversy about how this ability develops with age. We assessed 6- to 12-year-olds and adults using a digitized version of the Benton Face Recognition Test, a sensitive tool for assessing face perception abilities. Children's response times for correct responses did not decrease between ages 6…

Contribution of the Visual Perception and Graphic Production Systems to the Copying of Complex Geometrical Drawings: A Developmental Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bouaziz, Serge; Magnan, Annie – Cognitive Development, 2007
The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of the visual perception and graphic production systems [Van Sommers, P. (1989). "A system for drawing and drawing-related neuropsychology." "Cognitive Neuropsychology," 6, 117-164] to the manifestation of the "Centripetal Execution Principle" (CEP), a graphic…

Visual Self-Recognition in Mirrors and Live Videos: Evidence for a Developmental Asynchrony
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Suddendorf, Thomas; Simcock, Gabrielle; Nielsen, Mark – Cognitive Development, 2007
Three experiments (N = 123) investigated the development of live-video self-recognition using the traditional mark test. In Experiment 1, 24-, 30- and 36-month-old children saw a live video image of equal size and orientation as a control group saw in a mirror. The video version of the test was more difficult than the mirror version with only the…

First-Grade Predictors of Mathematical Learning Disability: A Latent Class Trajectory Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Geary, David C.; Bailey, Drew H.; Littlefield, Andrew; Wood, Phillip; Hoard, Mary K.; Nugent, Lara – Cognitive Development, 2009
Kindergarten to third grade mathematics achievement scores from a prospective study of mathematical development (n = 306) were subjected to latent growth trajectory analyses. The four corresponding classes included children with mathematical learning disability (MLD, 6% of sample), and low (LA, 50%), typically (TA, 39%) and high (HA, 5%) achieving…

Developmental Differences in Judgments of Recency and Frequency: Quantitative or Qualitative?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chalmers, Kerry A.; Grogan, Melissa J. – Cognitive Development, 2006
The basis of young children's performance of judgments of recency and frequency was investigated using a modified version of Huppert and Piercy's [Huppert, F. A., & Piercy, M. (1978). The role of trace strength in recency and frequency judgements by amnesic and control subjects. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 30, 347-354]…
