Maximilian Seitz; Manja Attig; Dave Möwisch; Markus Vogelbacher; Sabine Weinert – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2025
Studies on the emergence of effects of socioeconomic inequality typically report that socioeconomic background is positively associated with early cognitive abilities. However, studies on looking behaviour in habituation tasks rarely investigate this association, although such tasks are standard in measuring cognitive abilities in infants. The…

Bolhuis, Jantina; Kolling, Thorsten; Knopf, Monika – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
Studies showed that individual differences in encoding speed as well as looking behaviour during the encoding of facial stimuli can relate to differences in subsequent face discrimination. Nevertheless, a direct linkage between encoding speed and looking behaviour during the encoding of facial stimuli and the role of these encoding characteristics…

Spangler, Sibylle M.; Schwarzer, Gudrun; Freitag, Claudia; Vierhaus, Marc; Teubert, Manuel; Fassbender, Ina; Lohaus, Arnold; Kolling, Thorsten; Graf, Frauke; Goertz, Claudia; Knopf, Monika; Lamm, Bettina; Keller, Heidi – Infancy, 2013
We investigated the development of the other-race effect "ORE" in a longitudinal sample of 3-, 6-, and 9-month-old Caucasian infants. Previous research using cross-sectional samples has shown an unstable ORE at 3 months, an increase at 6 months and full development at 9 months. In Experiment 1, we tested whether 9-month-olds showed the…

Ropeter, Anna; Pauen, Sabina – Infancy, 2013
This study examines the relationship between various basic mental processing abilities in infancy. Two groups of 7-month-olds received the same delayed-response task to assess visuo-spatial working memory, but two different habituation-dishabituation tasks to assess processing speed and recognition memory. The single-stimulus group ("N"…

Muenssinger, Jana; Matuz, Tamara; Schleger, Franziska; Kiefer-Schmidt, Isabelle; Goelz, Rangmar; Wacker-Gussmann, Annette; Birbaumer, Niels; Preissl, Hubert – Developmental Science, 2013
Habituation--the most basic form of learning--is used to evaluate central nervous system (CNS) maturation and to detect abnormalities in fetal brain development. In the current study, habituation, stimulus specificity and dishabituation of auditory evoked responses were measured in fetuses and newborns using fetal magnetoencephalography (fMEG). An…

Bell, Raoul; Roer, Jan P.; Dentale, Sandra; Buchner, Axel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Immediate serial recall is seriously disrupted by to-be-ignored sound. According to the embedded-processes model, auditory distractors elicit attentional orienting that draws processing resources away from the recall task. The model predicts that interference should be attenuated after repeated exposure to the auditory distractors. Previous…
