Bolhuis, Jantina; Kolling, Thorsten; Knopf, Monika – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
Studies showed that individual differences in encoding speed as well as looking behaviour during the encoding of facial stimuli can relate to differences in subsequent face discrimination. Nevertheless, a direct linkage between encoding speed and looking behaviour during the encoding of facial stimuli and the role of these encoding characteristics…

Cantrell, Lisa; Boyer, Ty W.; Cordes, Sara; Smith, Linda B. – Developmental Science, 2015
Infants have shown variable success in quantity comparison tasks, with infants of a given age sometimes successfully discriminating numerical differences at a 2:3 ratio but requiring 1:2 and even 1:4 ratios of change at other times. The current explanations for these variable results include the two-systems proposal--a theoretical framework that…

Brannon, Elizabeth M.; Suanda, Sumarga; Libertus, Klaus – Developmental Science, 2007
Time perception is important for many aspects of human behavior, and a large literature documents that adults represent intervals and that their ability to discriminate temporal intervals is ratio dependent. Here we replicate a recent study by vanMarle and Wynn (2006 ) that used the visual habituation paradigm and demonstrated that temporal…
