Auditory and Visual Category Learning in Children and Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roark, Casey L.; Lescht, Erica; Hampton Wray, Amanda; Chandrasekaran, Bharath – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting complex processes such as object recognition and speech perception. Prior work has proposed that different categories may engage learning systems with unique developmental…

The Origins of Joint Visual Attention in Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Corkum, Valerie; Moore, Chris – Developmental Psychology, 1998
Two experiments examined the origins of joint visual attention in 6- to 11-month-olds with a training procedure. Results indicated that joint visual attention does not reliably appear prior to 10 months; from about 8 months, a gaze-following response can be learned; and simple learning is not sufficient as the mechanism through which joint…

Young Infants' Visual Expectations for Symmetric and Asymmetric Stimulus Sequences.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Canfield, Richard L.; Haith, Marshall M. – Developmental Psychology, 1991
Infants' visual fixations were monitored while they viewed predictable and unpredictable sequences of stimuli. Analyses of anticipatory fixations indicated that by two months of age, infants form expectations for the reappearance of visual stimuli positioned opposite to each other. By three months, infants rapidly form expectations for asymmetric…

Infant Sensitivity to Deviations in Dynamic Facial--Vocal Displays: The Role of Eye Regard.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Caron, Albert J.; Caron, Rose; Roberts, Jennifer; Brooks, Rechele – Developmental Psychology, 1997
Three experiments compared infants' reactions to videos of normally responsive women varying in eye contact. Found that, relative to frontal faces, three-month olds smiled less at images averting head and eye (H&I), head alone (H), and closing eyes (ECL) but not at averting eyes (E). Five-month-olds smiled less at H&I, E, and ECL but not…

Children's Analysis of Hierarchical Patterns: Evidence from a Similarity Judgment Task.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dukette, Dianne; Stiles, Joan – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1996
Examines the development of young children's analysis of spatial patterns--specifically, hierarchical letter and geometric forms. Suggests that although children as young as four years of age demonstrated substantial analytic competence, their ability to integrate the parts of the spatial array to form a coherent whole was weaker and more easily…

Stimulus Dimensionality and Manipulability in Visual Perceptual Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kerpelman, Larry C. – Child Development, 1967
Four-, five-, and six-year-old children were used as subjects in this investigation. There were 192 experimental and 96 control children used, divided equally between the three age groups. The experimental children received a 1-minute pretest exposure procedure in which 1/4 of the children observed 4 two-dimensional stimuli (irregular pentagons),…
