Visual Information-processing Speed in Reflective and Impulsive Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weiner, Alan S. – Child Development, 1975
Differences in the rates of visual information-processing in 8- and 10-year-old reflective and impulsive children were measured. (JMB)

Attention-Getting and Attention-Holding Processes of Infant Visual Preferences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cohen, Leslie B. – Child Development, 1972
Results support the contention that infant attention should be divided into separate attention-getting and attention-holding processes. (Author)

Individual and Developmental Differences in Disengagement of Fixation in Early Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Frick, Janet E.; Colombo, John; Saxon, Terrill F. – Child Development, 1999
Investigated whether individual and developmental differences in look duration were correlated with latency to disengage fixation from a visual stimulus for 3- and 4-month olds. Found that look duration was correlated with disengagement latency. Three-month olds showed slower latencies than 4-month olds. Long-looking infants showed greater…

Visual Expectation and Dimensions of Infant Information Processing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jacobson, Sandra W.; And Others – Child Development, 1992
Six-month-old African-American infants' expectation of a visual stimulus was related to developmental measures. Reaction time was related to eye fixation in tests that measured visual recognition memory (VRM) and presented objects of different shapes to the infant. Reaction time and infants' stimulus expectation predicted VRM novelty preference.…

The Effects of Stimulus Complexity and Sensory Modality on Reaction Time in Normal and Retarded Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Blank, 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)

The Visual Information Processing Speed of Lower- and Middle-Class Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bosco, James – Child Development, 1972
The data indicated that disadvantaged children required more time to process visual information than did middle-class children, but the processing speed for the 2 groups tended to become more similar as grade level was increased. (Author)

The Development of Visual Expectations in the First Year.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reznick, J. Steven; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Betts, Stephanie – Child Development, 2000
Two experiments used Visual Expectations Procedure to investigate development of expectations in infants up to 12 months old. Reaction time improved and the percentage of anticipations increased between 6 and 9 months using an alternation pattern or a complex pivot pattern, and between 4 and 8 months when using a left-right alternation or a…
