Peer reviewedRosser, Rosemary A.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
The ability of 40 children four and five years of age to discriminate reflections and rotations of visual stimuli was examined in a kinetic imagery task. Results revealed that prediction accuracy was associated with the existence of orientation markers on the stimuli, as well as age, sex, type of discrimination, and several interactions among the…

This study uses a habituation paradigm to systematically investigate the discrepancy hypothesis with male and female new borns. In addition, multiple visual response measures are used in monitoring the habituation process and the infant's response to various degrees of novelty. Ss were 36 apparently normal newborns (half of each sex) ranging in…

Dorman, Lynn; And Others – 1971
Visual fixation on one of two blank targets was reinforced with either visual or auditory stimuli in one of 3 intensity sequences: (1) low, medium, high; (2) medium, high, low; and (3) high, low, medium. An analysis of variance of learning scores for the 48 14-week-old infants resulted in a significant interaction of intensity and order and in a…

Cheong, George S. C. – 1977
The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether children's perceptual comprehension of symmetrical numerical displays was greater than their comprehension of asymmetrical numerical displays. Effects of sex, age and socioeconomic status were looked at. Seventy-three kindergarten and first grade children participated in the study.…

CARPENTER, WILLIAM L. – 1968
CHANGE IN INFORMATION PROCESSING AND CHANNEL CAPACITY WITH INCREASE IN AGE WAS STUDIED, AND POSSIBLE ALTERING OF THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH A CHANGE IN COMPLEXITY AND DIMENSIONALITY OF THE STIMULUS PRESENTED. VISUAL STIMULI WERE PROJECTED ON A SCREEN TO FOUR GROUPS COMPOSED OF 74 COLLEGE GRADUATES, RANGING IN AGE FROM 23 TO 68 YEARS, IN A SIMULATED…
