Huyck, Julia Jones; Wright, Beverly A. – Developmental Science, 2011
Adults can improve their performance on many perceptual tasks with training, but when does the response to training become mature? To investigate this question, we trained 11-year-olds, 14-year-olds and adults on a basic auditory task (temporal-interval discrimination) using a multiple-session training regimen known to be effective for adults. The…

The study also investigated the relationship between age, sex, academic goal, academic preference, and a person's perceptual aptitude or intellectual reasoning abilities.…

Bland, Laurel LeMieux – 1975
The study determined if a significant difference was demonstrated between American Indians and Caucasians on visual perception and recall tasks associated with cognitive function. It was hypothesized that a significant difference existed between scores obtained by Indian children enrolled in reservation schools and that of Caucasian children…
