Results showed that instructions significantly increased recognition accuracy. (Author/MB)

Peer reviewedBahrick, Lorraine E. – Child Development, 1988
Examines the development of intermodal perception in infancy by means of a new method, the intermodal learning method. Results support the claim that only subjects who had been familiarized with appropriate and synchronous film and soundtrack pairs showed evidence of intermodal learning. (Author/RWB)

Peer reviewedAguiar, Andrea; Baillargeon, Renee – Child Development, 1998
Three experiments examined whether 8.5-month-olds considered an object's width and compressibility when determining whether it could be inserted into a container. Results suggested that infants realized that large balls could fit into large but not small containers, whereas small balls could fit into both containers. Infants understood that large…

Peer reviewedMix, Kelly S.; And Others – Child Development, 1996
Investigated the ability of three- and four-year-old children to perform tasks which require matching sets of sounds to numerically equivalent visual displays. Findings indicated that three-year-olds performed at the level of chance on the auditory-visual matching task, but four-year-olds performed significantly above chance. (MOK)

Peer reviewedPauen, Sabina – Child Development, 2002
Two studies examined whether infants' category discrimination in an object-examination task was based solely on an ad hoc analysis of perceptual similarities among the experimental stimuli. Findings indicated that 10- to 11-month- olds' responses varied systematically only with the presence of a category change, but not with the degree of…

Existing data indicate that newborns are able to recognize individual faces, but little is known about what perceptual cues drive this ability. The current study showed that either the inner or outer features of the face can act as sufficient cues for newborns' face recognition (Experiment 1), but the outer part of the face enjoys an advantage…

Peer reviewedKerpelman, 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),…
