Thom, Emily E.; Sandhofer, Catherine M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2009
This study experimentally tested the relationship between children's lexicon size and their ability to learn new words within the domain of color. We manipulated the size of 25 20-month-olds' color lexicons by training them with two, four, or six different color words over the course of eight training sessions. We subsequently tested children's…

Herold, Katherine H.; Akhtar, Nameera – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
Young children's ability to learn something new from a third-party interaction may be related to the ability to imagine themselves in the third-party interaction. This imaginative ability presupposes an understanding of self-other equivalence, which is manifested in an objective understanding of the self and an understanding of others' subjective…

Flynn, Emma; Whiten, Andrew – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
We investigated developmental changes in the level of information children incorporate into their imitation when a model executes complex, hierarchically organized actions. A total of 57 3-year-olds and 60 5-year-olds participated, watching video demonstrations of an "artificial fruit" box being opened through a complex series of nine different…

Strouse, Gabrielle A.; Troseth, Georgene L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
Imitation of people on educational television is a potential way for very young children to learn new skills. Although toddlers in previous studies exhibited a "video deficit" in learning, 24-month-olds in Study 1 successfully reproduced behaviors modeled by a person who was on video as well as they did those modeled by a person who was present in…

Tipper, Steven P.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1989
Three experiments investigated development of mechanisms of selective attention in 60 second graders. Results demonstrated that the ability to process automatically irrelevant stimuli and the habituation mechanisms of attention are observable by grade two, but the inhibitory mechanism was not always evident at this stage.

Malcuit, Gerard; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1996
Examined the effect of functional values of stimuli on orienting response elicitation. Subjects were 50 4-month-old infants and were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 experimental conditions. Results suggested the importance of taking into account the functional value of stimuli when analyzing infant attention. (MOK)
