Peer reviewedMwanalushi, Muyunda – Child Development, 1974
Thirty elementary school students were assigned to one of three experimental conditions, (labeling, imagery, or control) in a pattern reproduction task. (ST)

Peer reviewedAbravanel, Eugene – Child Development, 1977
The figural simplicity or salience of parallel lines was studied in 3- and 4-year-olds by means of a figural matching procedure where parallelism was a basis for judging similarity. (Author/JMB)

Peer reviewedGreenberg, David J.; And Others – Child Development, 1973
To demonstrate a relationship between rate of habituation and complexity levels, 11-week-old infants (N=51) were each given a rate-of-habituation and complexity-level test. Rapid habituators looked longer at complex patterns. Irregular habituators responded randomly to tests or resembled slow habituators in terms of complexity preferred. (ST)

Peer reviewedRose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J.; Caro, Donna M. – Child Development, 2002
Examined developmental change and stability of visual expectation and reaction times among 5-, 7-, and 12-month-old term and preterm infants. Found that reaction times declined with age while anticipations increased. Infants with faster reaction times were more likely to anticipate upcoming events; this effect disappeared when time between stimuli…

Peer reviewedTrehub, Sandra E.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Two experiments involving a total of 177 infants 8 to 11 months of age found that subjects used a global processing strategy like adults' in discriminating transformations of a six-tone melody. Subjects needed melodic contour and frequency range to judge new sequences, but, in easy tasks, they also used absolute frequency. (CB)

Peer reviewedYounger, Barbara A.; Cohen, Leslie B. – Child Development, 1986
Examines developmental change in 4- 7- and 10-month-old infants' perceptions of correlations among attributes to determine whether relational information plays a role in abilities ranging from the perception and recognition of a simple pattern to the formation of a category. (HOD)

Peer reviewedAitken, P. P.; Hutt, Corinne – Child Development, 1974
Children, ages 3 to 10 were asked to rank random polygons, which differed in complexity according to interestingness and pleasingness. Complexity preferences varied with age. (ST)

Peer reviewedJohnson, Scott P.; Mason, Uschi – Child Development, 2002
Examined 2-month-old infants' perception of sparse random-dot displays depicting an illusory shape against a background in three experiments in which background texture, luminance cues, and relative motion information were added or deleted. Found that infants preferred novel stimuli in each condition, revealing an early capacity to perceive shape…
