Peer reviewedGottfried, Allen W.; And Others – Child Development, 1977
This study investigated infants' differential responding to novel and familiar stimuli after familiarization in a different sensory modality. Results showed that infants gain information about the shape of objects from their oral experience with them and that this information can be transferred to the visual modality. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedTyrrell, Donald J. – Child Development, 1977
Analysis of 40 first-grade children's performance on two discrimination learning problems revealed that children do transfer dimensional information between the visual and tactual modalities. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedBlank, Marion; And Others – Child Development, 1975
Intra- and crossmodal performance of normal and retarded third-grade readers were compared in a reaction-time task. Results suggest that the demands of stimulus complexity within the visual modality rather than the demands of crossmodal shifting were related to reading ability. (Author/ED)

Peer reviewedYang, Raymond K.; Douthitt, Thomas C. – Child Development, 1974
A total of 43 infants were subjected to increasing intensities of a tactile stimulation (air puffs) until a behavioral response occured. All infants displayed increased heart rate responses at threshold. (ST)

Peer reviewedLyons-Ruth, Karlen – Child Development, 1977
This study tested the assimilation of an auditory-visual stimulus configuration in 32 infants aged 15 to 16 weeks. The infants' discrimination of matched and mismatched auditory-visual stimuli indicated that infants by 4 months of age are capable of constructing bimodal schemata. (JMB)

Peer reviewedOdom, Richard D.; Corbin, David W. – Child Development, 1973
Uni- and multidimensional processing of 6- to 9-year olds was studied using recall tasks in which an array of stimuli was reconstructed to match a model array. Results indicated that both age groups were able to solve multidimensional problems, but that solution rate was retarded by the unidimensional processing of highly salient dimensions.…
