Peer reviewedJohnson, Scott P.; Aslin, Richard N. – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Investigated 4- and 7-month-olds' perception of transparency, using computer-generated achromatic or color displays depicting a semitransparent box occluding the center of a rod. Found that 4-month-olds indicated perception of transparency in color but not in achromatic displays. Seven-month-olds showed some evidence of transparency perception in…

Peer reviewedHuang-Pollock, Cynthia L.; Carr, Thomas H.; Nigg, Joel T. – Developmental Psychology, 2002
Examined in two studies the moderating effect of perceptual load on visual selective attention. Found that children's performance was as efficient as adults' under conditions of high but not low loads, suggesting that early selection engages rapidly maturing neural systems and late selection engages later-maturing systems. The onset of early…

Peer reviewedClifton, Rachel K.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Compared head circumference and interaural distance in infants between birth and 22 weeks of age and in a small sample of preschool children and adults. Calculated changes in interaural time differences according to age. Found a large shift in distance. (SKC)

Peer reviewedSaffran, Jenny R.; Griepentrog, Gregory J. – Developmental Psychology, 2001
Two experiments examined 8-month-olds' use of absolute and relative pitch cues in a tone-sequence statistical learning task. Results suggest that, given unsegmented stimuli that do not conform to rules of musical composition, infants are more likely to track patterns of absolute pitches than of relative pitches. A third experiment found that adult…

Peer reviewedEizenman, Dara R.; Bertenthal, Bennett I. – Developmental Psychology, 1998
Three experiments examined 4- and 6-month-olds' sensitivity to the unity of a partly occluded moving rod undergoing translation, rotation, or oscillation. Findings suggested that all types of common motion were not equivalent for specifying infants' perceptions of occluded objects. (Author)

Peer reviewedRileigh, Kathryn K.; Odom, Penelope B. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
Study found that auditory experience has an indirect influence on rhythm perception, but auditory involvement during the task does not. (Authors/MB)

Peer reviewedBrooks, Rechele; Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Developmental Psychology, 2002
Two studies assessed the gaze following of 12-, 14-, and 18-month-olds. Findings indicated that infants at all ages looked at the adult's target more when the adult turned to the target with open eyes than when the adult turned with closed eyes. Additional evidence suggested that infants were not simply responding to adult head turning, but were…
