An Attention Model of Infant Recognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1977
This paper presents a model of infant visual recognition which proposes that an infant faced with a novel and a previously exposed target responds with one "look" consisting of a chain of 2 covert responses: (1) an attentional observing response to a dimension and (2) a fixation response to a cue.

Perception of Three-Dimensional Cues in Early Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bhatt, Ramesh S.; Waters, Susan E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Three experiments examined infants' processing of three-dimensional (3D) information in static images. Results indicated that 3-month olds are sensitive to 3D cues in static images. However, discrepancies based on these cues may not engage infants' attention like those based on fundamental features. (Author)

Zlomke, Kimberly R.; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
The present experiment investigated the impact of contextually trained discriminations on gambling behavior. Nine recreational slot-machine players were initially exposed to concurrently available computerized slot machines that were each programmed on random-ratio schedules of reinforcement and differed only in color. All participants distributed…

Visual Search by Children: The Effect of Background Variation and the Use of Visual Cues
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Day, Mary Carol – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1978

The Amateur Scientist.
Walker, Jearl – Scientific American, 1986
Describes experiments which focus on the perception of three dimensions. Discusses the cues about distance and depth and the role they have in perceptions of three dimensions. Evaluates the effect of color on the illusion on depth. (ML)

Can Visual Reminders Increase Learning from Television?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tidhar, Chava – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1973
An attempt to isolate possible effects of the application of visual reminders on learning by TV. The underlying assumption was that learning by means of television and other visual media can be enhanced by methodically applying visual reminders. (Author)

Effects of Spatial Position and Density on Visual Acuity. Umea Psychological Reports No. 153.
Brannstrom, Lauritz – 1980
Visual acuity as a function of target position and density was measured in a letter recognition task. A homogeneous pattern of equally-spaced elements was tachistoscopically exposed, where the target was never located at the boundaries of the pattern. The target was marked with a spatial cue to control attentional processes. With such a spatial…

Affective Cues and Processing Strategy: Color-Coded Examination Forms Influence Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sinclair, Robert C.; Soldat, Alexander S.; Mark, Melvin M. – Teaching of Psychology, 1998
Argues that external cues provide affective information that influence processing strategy and, therefore, examination performance. Notes the differences in performance for two midterm examinations, identical, except that they were printed on blue and red paper. Discusses a method for appropriately adjusting scores to control for form effects.…
