Chiang, Wen-Chi; Wynn, Karen – Cognition, 2000
Four experiments examined 8-month-olds' ability to reason about collections of objects. Findings suggested that infants' expectations about object behavior do not automatically apply to any and all portions of matter within the visual field. The behavior of an entity and infants' prior experience played roles in determining whether infants will…

Wynn, Karen; Bloom, Paul; Chiang, Wen-Chi – Cognition, 2002
Examined the nature of numerical knowledge in 5-month-olds to inform the debate whether numerical abilities result from capacities dedicated to numerical cognition or to more general perceptual capacities. Found that 5-month-olds could determine the number of collective entities, moving groups of items, when non-numerical perceptual factors such…

Schlottmann, Anne; Allen, Deborah; Linderoth, Carina; Hesketh, Sarah – Child Development, 2002
Three experiments examined development of perceptual causality in 3- to 9-year-olds. Findings indicated that participants of all ages assigned contact events (A moves toward B, which moves upon contact) to the physical domain and non-contact events (B moves before contact) to the psychological domain. Participants chose causality more often for…

Freire, Alejo; Lee, Kang – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Tested in two studies 4- to 7-year-olds' face recognition by manipulating the faces' configural and featural information. Found that even with only a single 5-second exposure, most children could use configural and featural cues to make identity judgments. Repeated exposure and feedback improved others' performance. Even proficient memories were…

Schwarzer, Gudrun – Child Development, 2000
Examined degree to which analytic and holistic modes of processing play a role in children's and adults' categorization of faces. Found a developmental trend from analytic to holistic processing and an effect of face inversion with increasing age. Seven-year-olds processed faces comparably to nonfacial visual stimuli, whereas a growing proportion…

Gerhardstein, Peter; Rovee-Collier, Carolyn – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Trained 1- to 3-year-olds to touch a video screen displaying a unique target and appearing among varying numbers of distracters; correct responses triggered a sound and four animated objects on the screen. Found that children's reaction time patterns resembled those from adults in corresponding search tasks, suggesting that basic perceptual…

Dickstein, Ellen B.; Warren, David R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
The study compared the cognitive, affective, and perceptual role taking skills of 38 learning disabled (LD) children (ages 5 to 8) with those of a control group of normal children. Ss were administered three role taking tasks which measured their skills in each of the domains. The results demonstrated a role taking deficit in the LD children.…

Brooks, Rechele; Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Developmental Psychology, 2002
Two studies assessed the gaze following of 12-, 14-, and 18-month-olds. Findings indicated that infants at all ages looked at the adult's target more when the adult turned to the target with open eyes than when the adult turned with closed eyes. Additional evidence suggested that infants were not simply responding to adult head turning, but were…

Hall, Wayne C., Jr.; Myers, Charles B. – Peabody Journal of Education, 1977
Taba objectives seek to modify teaching methods so that directive, teacher-dominated techniques, which encourage primarily the recall of cognitive information, are replaced by supportive instructional techniques, which encourage more complex levels of thinking such as drawing conclusions and inferences.

Mohanty, A.; Stewin, L. L. – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1976
Cultural, ecological, and educational variables in relation to magical thinking, perceptual flexibility, and logical reasoning seem to be crucial in development of children's judgments and explanations in conservation tasks. (Author)

Reznick, J. Steven; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Betts, Stephanie – Child Development, 2000
Two experiments used Visual Expectations Procedure to investigate development of expectations in infants up to 12 months old. Reaction time improved and the percentage of anticipations increased between 6 and 9 months using an alternation pattern or a complex pivot pattern, and between 4 and 8 months when using a left-right alternation or a…
