Strauss, Mark S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979

It was determined that infants could process visual information constructively and could take a more active role in category formation than previously believed. (Author/MH)

Kunen, Seth; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979
