Study tests 45 four-month-old infants for color constancy using a familiarization, paired-comparison paradigm. Infants tested with a change in illuminant correctly recognized the familiar color under some conditions and failed to do so under others. (Author/RWB)

Maurer, Daphne; and Adams, Russell J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1987
Two different methods which minimize achromatic cues were used to test the ability of one-month-olds to discriminate gray from broadband blue. Test data imply an improvement between birth and one month of age in the discrimination of gray from broadband blue. Possible physiological changes underlying this improvement are discussed.

Smeets, Paul M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Examined reversal of emergent simple discriminations through stimulus contiguity. In experiment one, Baseline and Reversal phases were positive for most children. Experiments two through four examined protocol aspects that possibly contributed to successful reversal of the form discrimination; found that reversed discrimination usually was a…

Adams, Russell J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Newborns were habituated to white squares of varying size and luminance and retested with colored squares for recovery of habituation. Newborns could discriminate yellow-green from white in large squares, but not in small squares. They could not discriminate blue, blue-green, or purple from white. Results suggest newborns have little…
