Guo, Dong; Wang, Yudan; Liao, Yifan; Li, Jiaofeng; Zhang, Xingyi; Gao, Zaifeng; Shen, Mowei; He, Jie – Child Development, 2022
Visual working memory (WM) plays a pivotal role in integrating fragments into meaningful units, but no study has addressed how visual WM integration takes place in children. The current study examined whether WM integration emerges once preschoolers master Gestalt cue and can retain two representations in WM (automatic integration hypothesis), or…

Luo, Xiangsheng; Guo, Jialiang; Li, Dongwei; Liu, Lu; Chen, Yanbo; Zhu, Yu; Johnstone, Stuart J.; Wang, Yufeng; Song, Yan; Sun, Li – Child Development, 2021
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cognitive deficits associated with attention. Prior studies have revealed the potential impact of ADHD on basic perception and cognitive ability in patients with ADHD. In this study, bilateral posterior P1 and N1 were measured in 122 Chinese children…

Altvater-Mackensen, Nicole; Grossmann, Tobias – Child Development, 2015
Infants' language exposure largely involves face-to-face interactions providing acoustic and visual speech cues but also social cues that might foster language learning. Yet, both audiovisual speech information and social information have so far received little attention in research on infants' early language development. Using a preferential…

Nava, Elena; Pavani, Francesco – Child Development, 2013
In human adults, visual dominance emerges in several multisensory tasks. In children, auditory dominance has been reported up to 4 years of age. To establish when sensory dominance changes during development, 41 children (6-7, 9-10, and 11-12 years) were tested on the Colavita task (Experiment 1) and 32 children (6-7, 9-10, and 11-12 years) were…

Birmingham, Elina; Meixner, Tamara; Iarocci, Grace; Kanan, Christopher; Smilek, Daniel; Tanaka, James W. – Child Development, 2013
The strategies children employ to selectively attend to different parts of the face may reflect important developmental changes in facial emotion recognition. Using the Moving Window Technique (MWT), children aged 5-12 years and adults ("N" = 129) explored faces with a mouse-controlled window in an emotion recognition task. An…

Althaus, Nadja; Mareschal, Denis – Child Development, 2012
This article presents an eye-tracking study using a novel combination of visual saliency maps and "area-of-interest" analyses to explore online feature extraction during category learning in infants. Category learning in 12-month-olds (N = 22) involved a transition from looking at high-saliency image regions to looking at more…

Willats, John – Child Development, 1992
Children were asked to draw sticks and discs that were foreshortened and not foreshortened. Seven- and 12-year-old children used a partial change of shape in drawing foreshortened sticks and a full change of shape in drawing foreshortened discs. (BC)

Gaines, Rosslyn; Powell, Gloria J. – Child Development, 1981
Developmental color perception of 278 four- and eight-year-old Black and White children in three societies was examined in relation to the theories that proximity to the equator and that fundus pigmentation (as measured by skin color) reduce shortwave (blue-green) in comparison to long-wave perception.

Rolfe, Sharne A.; Day, R. H. – Child Development, 1981
Two experiments were conducted to investigate six-month-old infants' recognition memory for the shape of an object following unimodal (visual) and bimodal (visual and haptic) familiarization. Visual recognition memory was evident only when the conditions of familiarization and testing were identical. Two possible explanations are presented and…
