Perceptual Salience and Children's Multidimensional Problem Solving

Peer reviewed

Odom, 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.…

The Role of Stimulus Alignment in Children's Memory for Line Orientation.

Peer reviewed

Fisher, Celia B. – Child Development, 1982

In the first experiment, 16 kindergarten children were tested on vertical/horizontal and oblique discriminations in symmetrical and asymmetrical alignments. When stimuli were asymmetrically aligned, the former discrimination was learned as rapidly as the latter. The second experiment demonstrated that the influence of configurational cues in…
