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…

Effects of Stimulus Differentiation Training upon Hypotheses, Strategies, and Stereotypes in Discrimination Learning among Kindergarten Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…

Effects of Meaningfulness and Context on Information Processing in Third-Graders.
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…

"Levels of Cognitive Development," by Tracy S. Kendler.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Halford, Graeme S. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1997
Reviews "Levels of Cognitive Development," which presents a theory of cognitive development integrating discrimination- learning research with understanding of higher cognitive processes. Argues that strengths include its presentation of systematic research and providing continuity between past and present models. Weaknesses include…
