Parish, Charles R.; Wheatley, Grayson H. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1975

Lowe, Roland C. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1973
Investigated developmental trends in part-whole perception. The effects of the whole on the perception of small parts was greater at the kindergarten level than at the 4th grade; and there was a change in the perception of the parts so that they came to look like the whole in shape. (DP)

Miller, Douglas – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1977
It was hypothesized that Piaget's argument on behalf of the reorganization of cognitive processes would gain empirical support from a color/form, matching similar objects problem for 52 6-year-olds from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. (Author/MS)

Lesser, Harvey – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1974
Attempts to clarify the basis for the unusual responses to observed movement by 7-year-old children, as compared to adults, discovered by Olum. Subjects were 40 first and third graders. Results indicate that these responses are genuine and that they go through a developmental evolution. (SDH)

Chap, Janet Blum; Ross, Bruce M. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1979
In order to determine whether mistakes committed by younger children are the result of retention mistakes rather than faulty perceptual encoding, twenty children (6, 8, 10, and 12 years old) reconstructed two visual patterns from immediate memory, while twenty other children (5 and 6 years old) reconstructed the identical patterns by direct…

Sohlberg, Shaul C.; Porat, Dov – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1979
One hundred thirty-six 5-to-10-year-old Israeli children were given three black and white photographs of a highway, a column of identical tanks, and a row of elephants, and were asked some questions on each one of the photographs in order to elicit responses of three-dimensional perception. (CM)
