Research was designed to determine whether developmental differences in sensitivity to more peripherally presented material could be found under conditions in which overt eye movements during the presentation of task material were not possible. (Author)

Twenty-four elementary school children ranging in age from 7 to 10 years identified tachistoscopically presented arrays varying in length and degree of orthographic constraint. (Author/MP)

One question prompting the present research concerned the relation between performance under tachistoscopic'' conditions where exposure durations are too brief to permit active overt visual search, and performance when overt search is possible. (Author)

This study was designed to provide evidence concerning hemispheric independence in the visual modality of children and adults. Words and letters were shown either singly or in pairs. Hemispheric independence occurred more frequently among children when letters, as opposed to words, were shown. Results are discussed in terms of developmental models…

Investigates age differences in selective attention in a coded visual search task where subjects were given different types of information about target location before trial onset. (Author/SS)
