Complexity Levels, Habituation, and Individual Differences in Early Infancy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greenberg, 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)

Children's Pattern Construction as a Function of Age and Complexity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Halford, Graeme S.; Macdonald, Clare – Child Development, 1977
In order to determine the ability of children aged 3-8 years to reproduce patterns of different levels of complexity, 60 children were asked to reproduce checkerboard patterns at 3 levels of complexity, measured by code length as suggested by H. A. Simon. (Author/SB)

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

Developmental Differences in Visual and Auditory Processing of Complex Sentences.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Booth, James R.; MacWhinney, Brian; Harasaki, Yasuaki – Child Development, 2000
Visual and auditory processing of complex sentences was examined among 8- through 11-year-olds. Findings suggested a U-shaped learning pattern for on-line processing of restrictive relative clauses. Off-line accuracy scores showed different patterns for good and poor comprehenders. Incorrect local attachment strategy use was related to sentence…
