Difficulty in Concept Identification as a Function of Stimulus Saliency and Concept Complexity.
Gulkus, Steven P. – 1977
The relationship between conceptual complexity and stimulus saliency was explored in a 3 x 4 factorial design using 144 undergraduates. Levels of complexity were represented by varying the ratio of relevant-to-irrelevant dimensions (1:3, 2:2, and 3:1). The saliency factor varied according to the discriminability between each attribute within…

Kobayashi, Tessei; Hiraki, Kazuo; Hasegawa, Toshikazu – Developmental Science, 2005
Recent studies have reported that preverbal infants are able to discriminate between numerosities of sets presented within a particular modality. There is still debate, however, over whether they are able to perform intermodal numerosity matching, i.e. to relate numerosities of sets presented with different sensory modalities. The present study…
