Beck, Melissa R.; Peterson, Matthew S.; Vomela, Miroslava – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Although the role of memory in visual search is debatable, most researchers agree with a limited-capacity model of memory in visual search. The authors demonstrate the role of memory by replicating previous findings showing that visual search is biased away from old items (previously examined items) and toward new items (nonexamined items).…

Nederveld, Patricia; Thomson, Carole – 1972
The purpose of this sequence of a working paper intended for inclusion in a curriculum manual to be published in the future, is to provide the child with concrete experience, opportunities to represent things symbolically, and to learn the nature of symbols and how to read them. Examining objects, acting them out, and experimenting with them, the…

Ohwaki, Sonoko; Stayton, Samuel E. – Child Development, 1978
Results indicated that after partialing out CA and MA, number of years in the institution was negatively correlated with success in visually directed object manipulation, social imitation, and purposeful, constructive activities for 103 profoundly retarded residents. (Author/JMB)

Kelly, Michael H.; Freyd, Jennifer J. – Cognitive Psychology, 1987
Figures that undergo an implied rotation are remembered as being slightly beyond their final position, a phenomenon called representational momentum. Eight experiments explored the questions of what gets transformed and what types of transformations induce such representational distortions. (GDC)

Abravanel, Eugene; Gingold, Herbert – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Deferred imitation of object-related actions was studied at two ages, 12 and 18 months, to examine development of competence in observational learning. Three task categories were investigated: simple/single reiterative, and sequentially coordinated actions. Examination of partial successes at both ages was useful for suggesting phases in…

Discusses developmental changes in visual exploration and manipulative investigation among children from birth to six months, six to 12 months, and 12 to 36 months of age. Also discusses pretend play in terms of decentration, decontextualization, and integration. (RH)

Torrance, E. Paul – Young Children, 1970
An experiment with 66 six-year-old children showed that children asked more and better questions about unfamiliar objects (toys) when they had been given an opportunity to manipulate them than when they saw only demonstrations of the toys. (NH)

Ruddy, Margaret G.; Bornstein, Marc H. – Child Development, 1982
Investigates the predictability of cognitive differences at 12 months from infant and maternal behaviors at 4 months. Overall, the results show that some individual differences in cognition may be predictable across the first year of life. (Author/RH)

Laxon, V. J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
Sixty children aged 2-3 to 5-6 were given four quantity tasks that tested their understanding of "more" and "same." Tasks involving a manipulative response were significantly easier than those involving a yes/no judgment. (Author/RH)

Goodman, Sherryl Hope – Child Development, 1981
Results of a study of 38 preschool children observed and videotaped during performance on a jigsaw-puzzle task indicate that puzzle solutions accompanied by a high rate of verbalizations were judged as more proficient, solved with a high rate of puzzle-solving moves, and completed in a shorter period of time.

Gottfried, Allen W.; Rose, Susan A. – Child Development, 1980
Twenty-five one-year-olds were administered two tasks (each of which consisted of a familiarization stage followed by a recognition stage) in order to determine whether infants can recognize the shapes of objects by touch alone. (CM)
