Erden Ozcan, Sule; Bal, Ayten Pinar – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2019
The purpose of this study is to analyse geometric transformations of children in the early childhood period. The study utilised a case study to design one of the qualitative research methods. Interviews were conducted with 6-, 7- and 8-year-old children, in total 24 children, who were enrolled in a private pre-school and a primary school of the…

Cassia, Viola Macchi; Proietti, Valentina; Pisacane, Antonella – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2013
Available evidence indicates that experience with one face from a specific age group improves face-processing abilities if acquired within the first 3 years of life but not in adulthood. In the current study, we tested whether the effects of early experience endure at age 6 and whether the first 3 years of life are a sensitive period for the…

Dilks, Daniel D.; Hoffman, James E.; Landau, Barbara – Developmental Science, 2008
Evidence suggests that visual processing is divided into the dorsal ("how") and ventral ("what") streams. We examined the normal development of these streams and their breakdown under neurological deficit by comparing performance of normally developing children and Williams syndrome individuals on two tasks: a visually guided action ("how") task,…

Barr, Rachel; Muentener, Paul; Garcia, Amaya – Developmental Science, 2007
During the second year of life, infants exhibit a "video deficit effect." That is, they learn significantly less from a televised demonstration than they learn from a live demonstration. We predicted that repeated exposure to televised demonstrations would increase imitation from television, thereby reducing the video deficit effect. Independent…

Jacobs, Emma; Miller, Laurie C.; Tirella, Linda G. – Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2010
Most international adoptees (IA) have rapid catch-up of the delays common at arrival. However, it is not known whether development at arrival predicts later abilities or school readiness. Therefore, we comprehensively evaluated language, fine motor, visual reception (VR), executive function (EF), attention (ATT), and sensory skills (SS) in IA…

Smith, Linda B. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Examined whether a holistic magnitude relation governs children's object comparisons. Objects varying on two dimensions of magnitude, size, and saturation were classified by three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Results indicated that younger children were sensitive to global magnitude as well as to overall similarity. (Author/BE)

Houghton, Robert Roy; Tabachnick, Barbara Gerson – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
Changes in magnitude of Muller-Lyer illusion lines between forks and arrows as a function of age were studied in 48 hyperactive and 48 nonhyperactive boys (six-nine years old).

Cox, M. V. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1978
Reports results of a study of the development of perspective-taking skills of 180 English children aged six through ten. Children first are able to represent the object nearest the observer, then before-behind relationships, and subsequently left-right relationships between objects. Questions Piagetian conclusions that perspective-taking ability…

Metcalfe, John Alban; Stratford, Brian – Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 1986
Development of cognitive processes and visual perception in 128 Down Syndrome (DS) children (ages 5 to 18) was compared to that of 162 nonhandicapped children (ages 3 to 8). Linear, rather than stepwise, relationships between performance and chronological age in the DS subjects and similar to normal visual perceptual development were found.…

Enns, James T.; Girgus, Joan S. – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Observers aged six to 24 years estimated distances between elements in patterns illustrating Gestalt grouping principles of proximity, similarity, closure, and good continuation. Magnitude of distance distortions decreased significantly with age, suggesting that perceptual development includes improving ability to disregard Gestalt groupings when…

Wainwright, Ann; Bryson, Susan E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Examined which of the attentional operations underlying exogenous orienting (disengaging, shifting, and/or engaging) improves with age in children from 6 to 14 years old. Found that disengaging attention alone distinguished between younger and older children's performance, regardless of whether attention alone or attention and associated sensory…

Braine, Lila Ghent – American Psychologist, 1978
It is proposed here that adults process orientation information at different levels and that these levels correspond to developmental stages in the coding of orientation in childhood. (Author)

Winer, Gerald A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1993
Two studies exposed children and adults to an illusion created by perceptual adaptation, in which subjects perceived two identical bottles, held simultaneously in a different hand, as being different in weight. Feedback and repeated trials led older children and adults to improve performance in determining correct weights. The role of feedback,…

Lindsay, D. Stephen; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
In three experiments, four and six year olds and adults were examined to determine whether children were more likely than adults to confuse memories from different sources when the sources were highly similar. Findings indicated that children may be especially vulnerable to the effects of source similarity. (SH)
