Gescheider, George A.; Wright, John H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Vibrotactile intensity-discrimination thresholds for sinusoidal stimuli applied to the thenar eminence of the hand declined as a function of practice. However, improvement was confined to the tactile information-processing channel in which learning had occurred. Specifically, improvements in performance with training within the Pacinian-corpuscle…

Reynolds, Gemma; Reed, Phil – Learning and Motivation, 2011
Stimulus over-selectivity refers to behavior being controlled by one element of the environment at the expense of other equally salient aspects of the environment. This is a common problem for many individuals, including those with autism spectrum disorders, and learning difficulties, and presents a considerable problem for information processing…

Rakison, David H.; Yermolayeva, Yevdokiya – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2011
A longstanding and fundamental debate in developmental science is whether knowledge is acquired through domain-specific or domain-general mechanisms. To date, there exists no tool to determine whether experimental data support one theoretical approach or the other. In this article, we argue that the U- and N-shaped curves found in a number of…

Henderson, Sheila E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Elementary school students were tested on a visual search task where letter matching was based on the visual or name characteristics of letters. Visual match lists were searched faster than name match lists by all three grades. (SBT)

Gholson, Barry; McConville, Kathleen – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Two groups of kindergarten children received stimulus differentiation training either with feedback (experimental Ss) or without (controls), prior to presentation of a series of discrimination-learning problems using blank-trial probes. Findings are discussed in relation to theoretical perspectives derived from Piagetian theory and developmental…

Fletcher, Harold J. – 1969
The first part of this paper briefly describes two studies concerned with cognitive processes in children. One study examined the ability of Kindergarten and First Grade children to apply a simple rule of logical inference in order to solve a two-object discrimination problem. Specifically, the rule was of the form "if A, then not B." A second…

Jones, Gillian; Smith, Peter K. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Investigates preschool children's ability (n = 30) to discriminate age, and subject's use of different facial areas in ranking facial photographs into age order. Results indicate subjects from 3 to 9 years can successfully rank the photos. Compared with other facial features, the eye region was most important for success in the age ranking task.…

Kausler, Donald H.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
The present study replicated the procedure of Kausler et al. (1975) as a means of testing further the hypothesis that the processing of wrong items differs qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, from the processing of right items. (Author)

Montgomery, Theresa; Richman, Shanna – 1979
The effects of meaningfulness of the stimulus materials and the presence or absence of contextual cues on problem-solving behavior were investigated. Third-graders (N=80) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions and their performance in a series of discrimination problems was observed. Subjects in Conditions I and II responded to stimuli…
