Forbes, Samuel H.; Plunkett, Kim – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Recent years have seen a rise in the popularity of eye-tracking methods to evaluate infant and toddler interpretation of visual stimuli. The application of these methods makes it increasingly important to understand the development of infant sensitivity to the perceptual properties implicated in such methods. In light of recent studies that…

Friedrich, Trista E.; Hunter, Paulette V.; Elias, Lorin J. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Neurologically healthy adults display a reliable but slight leftward spatial bias, and this bias appears to change with age (Jewell & McCourt, 2000). Studies using line bisection and the landmark task to investigate pseudoneglect in participants over 60 years of age have shown suppression and near reversal of the leftward response bias. The…

Kwon, Mee-Kyoung; Setoodehnia, Mielle; Baek, Jongsoo; Luck, Steven J.; Oakes, Lisa M. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Four experiments examined how faces compete with physically salient stimuli for the control of attention in 4-, 6-, and 8-month-old infants (N = 117 total). Three computational models were used to quantify physical salience. We presented infants with visual search arrays containing a face and familiar object(s), such as shoes and flowers. Six- and…

Smitsman, Ad W.; Dejonckheere, Peter J. N.; De Wit, Tessa C. J. – Developmental Psychology, 2009
Four experiments familiarized 6-, 9-, 12-, and 16-month-old infants to a solid block that was repeatedly lowered into a semitransparent container. In test trials the end state, containment, was either compatible or incompatible with the objects' size and position. In Experiment 1, infants saw the block and box successively before they observed the…

Casler, Krista; Eshleman, Angelica; Greene, Kimberly; Terziyan, Treysi – Developmental Psychology, 2011
Children sometimes make "scale errors," attempting to interact with tiny object replicas as though they were full size. Here, we demonstrate that instrumental tools provide special insight into the origins of scale errors and, moreover, into the broader nature of children's purpose-guided reasoning and behavior with objects. In Study 1, 1.5- to…

Ruff, Holly A.; Turkewitz, Gerald – Developmental Psychology, 1975
This study was designed to determine whether the effectiveness of stimulus intensity declines with age. The results indicated that infants 10 weeks and younger responded on the basis of size, while infants between 10 and 24 weeks looked more at a bull's-eye than at a striped pattern regardless of size.

Meyer, Jerome S.; Elkind, David – Developmental Psychology, 1975
Two studies investigating figurative expectancy, or the tendency to make perceptual judgments on the basis of temporal patterns, are reported. The results are interpreted as supportive of Piaget's theory of perceptual development. (JMB)

Grant, Richard A. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
The relation between Matching Familiar Figures Test performance and Piaget's construct of perceptual activity was examined with 48 third- and fourth-grade boys. (SB)

Oakes, Lisa M. – Developmental Psychology, 1994
Two experiments investigated the role of continuity cues in infants' perception of launching events as causal. Results indicated that younger subjects' perceptions of the particular object may influence perception of causality and that infants' use of cues to causality changes with age. (WP)

Booth, Amy E.; Pinto, Jeannine; Bertenthal, Bennett I. – Developmental Psychology, 2002
Two experiments tested infants' sensitivity to properties of point-light displays of a walker and a runner that were equivalent regarding the phasing of limb movements. Found that 3-, but not 5-month-olds, discriminated these displays. When the symmetrical phase-patterning of the runner display was perturbed by advancing two of its limbs by 25…

Tversky, Barbara – Developmental Psychology, 1989
Five experiments involving children of 4-11 years investigated partonomic knowledge and its relation to the use of taxonomic organization. Results suggest that children are sensitive to parts of common objects and appear to be able to use this sensitivity to group objects in abstract, function-based, superordinate categories. (RJC)

Post, Barbara; Hetherington, E. Mavis – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Two experiments study the effects of age and sex on the ability of 3-1/2- to 6-year-old children to use nonverbal cues in identifying affiliative relationships. (SDH)

Ruff, Holly A.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Recognition by infants, 13 and 22 weeks old, was tested by pairing novel stimuli with the familiarization stimulus at different points in an experimental session. Younger subjects showed no recognition of either two- or three- dimensional stimuli. Older subjects demonstrated more recognition in the three-dimensional condition. (MS)

Kratochwill, Thomas R.; Goldman, Jane A. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
Investigated developmental changes in children's judgments of age of people in photographs with emphasis on judgments correlating age and physical size. Results were discussed in terms of previous age perception studies and Piagetian Theory. (DP)
