Fagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1978
Reports four experiments in which infants' recognition memory (defined by novelty preferences) was found to be improved by providing five- to seven-month-old infants with discriminable but related targets during the familiarization period. Facilitation of recognition was found for both photographs of faces and abstract patterns. (JMB)

Abravanel, 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)

McCall, Robert B.; Kennedy, Cynthia Bellows – Child Development, 1980
Several propositions deduced from the discrepancy hypothesis were tested with four-month-old infants using random shapes in a habituation/discrepancy paradigm. (JMB)

Cornell, Edward H. – Child Development, 1975
An investigation of 4-month-old children's attention responses to pattern dimensions and orientations by comparing the duration of an infant's fixation to changes in the orientation and structural arrangement of a previously exposed pattern. (ED)

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)

Aitken, 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)

Bradshaw, J. L.; McKenzie, B. E. – Child Development, 1971
Outline faces were presented for rating along six dichotomous attributes with features varying systematically. Differences were found to be largely attentional, with certain features invariably being differentially employed and associated with certain attributes across all samples. (WY)
