The Effect of Perceptual Salience on Reflective-Impulsive Performance Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hartley, Deborah Green – Developmental Psychology, 1976
A total of 174 first, second, and third graders were tested to examine the relation between perceptual salience and cognitive style. The results indicated that implusives made more errors than reflectives only on trials requiring the use of the least salient dimension and that these performance differences decreased with age.

Development of Pattern Classification: Auditory-Visual Equivalence in the Use of Prototypes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Williams, Tannis MacBeth; Aiken, Leona S. – Developmental Psychology, 1977
Development of the relation between skills of visual and auditory pattern classification was studied at the second grade, sixth grade, and adult age levels using visual and auditory representations of the same abstract information. Results showed evidence of common processing of pattern class structure for the modalities, patterns, prototypes, and…
