Differential fixation to novel stimuli was obtained from 4-month-old infants to test the discrepancy hypothesis, which predicts a curvilinear relationship between degree of discrepancy and attention. (ST)

Young children usually prefer to classify objects on the basis of shape rather than color. The present study explored this phenomenon with a stimulus matching test and a component selection test. (ST)

In a study of spatial perspectives, third- and fifth-grade students were asked to coordinate perspectives on single-object and multiple-object arrays. (ST)

The present study was designed to identify sources of information in the human face and to determine how this information is processed by young children in solving problems. (ST)

The development of the ability to associate numerals with sets of appropriate size was studied in children, ages 4 to 5-1/2. (ST)

A historical sketch of the development of Otto Neurath's visual science method called International System of Typographic Picture Education (ISOTYPE). (HB)
