de Haan, Michelle; Nelson, Charles A. – Developmental Psychology, 1999
Used event-related potentials to determine whether infants show differences in spatial and temporal characteristics of brain activation during face and object recognition. Found that infants' experience with specific examples within categories and their general category knowledge influenced the neural correlates of visual processing. (Author/KB)

Gilmore, Rick O.; Baker, Thomas J.; Grobman, K. H. – Developmental Psychology, 2004
Although considerable progress has been made in understanding how adults perceive their direction of self-motion, or heading, from optic flow, little is known about how these perceptual processes develop in infants. In 3 experiments, the authors explored how well 3- to 6-month-old infants could discriminate between optic flow patterns that…

French, Robert M.; Mareschal, Denis; Mermillod, Martial; Quinn, Paul C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2004
Disentangling bottom-up and top-down processing in adult category learning is notoriously difficult. Studying category learning in infancy provides a simple way of exploring category learning while minimizing the contribution of top-down information. Three- to 4-month-old infants presented with cat or dog images will form a perceptual category…

Wilkerson, Dennis; Johnson, Gail; Johnson, Richard – Education, 2008
Early childhood neglect can limit a child's normal cognitive development and result in behavior problems in the classroom. When normal attachment is disrupted, learning difficulties can result in problems with time awareness. It has also been shown that an awareness of time is a key concept for the formation of organizational and math skills. This…

Gellatly, Angus; Pilling, Michael; Cole, Geoff; Skarratt, Paul – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Object substitution masking (OSM) is said to occur when a perceptual object is hypothesized that is mismatched by subsequent sensory evidence, leading to a new hypothesized object being substituted for the first. For example, when a brief target is accompanied by a longer lasting display of nonoverlapping mask elements, reporting of target…

Murphy, Laura M. Bennett; Laurie-Rose, Cynthia; Brinkman, Tara M.; McNamara, Kelly A. – Early Child Development and Care, 2007
The current study examines the relationship between sustained attention and social competence in preschool children. While studies demonstrate that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit poor social competence, less is known about typically developing children. Since children with ADHD have associated behavior…

Spijkerboer, A. W.; Utens, E. M. W. J.; Bogers, A. J. J. C.; Verhulst, F. C.; Helbing, W. A. – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2008
In this study, long-term intellectual functioning and school-related behavioural outcomes were assessed in a patient sample that underwent invasive treatment for congenital heart disease (ConHD) between 1990 and 1995. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised was used to measure intellectual functioning and the Teacher's Report Form to…

Eimas, Peter D.; And Others – 1993
Previous research has shown that 3- to 4-month-old infants form a global categorical representation for cats that includes female lions, whereas 6- to 7-month-old infants differentiate between cats and lions. Three experiments using familiarization-novelty preference procedures attempted to determine whether the differentiation of a global…

Howell, Jerry F., Jr. – Journal of Environmental Education, 1974
The purpose of this study was to develop an effective model to determine environmental awareness in a geographic region. Included in the instrument were questionnaires sent out to members of the community--educators, clergymen, industrial workers, students. Data from this study resulted in the development of recommendations for other researchers.…

Axner, Ulla – School Research Newsletter, 1984
Followup was conducted on 39 students identified as at risk for perceptual disorders based on diagnosis in grade 1 and on 79 children in a control group. Procedures included comparisons between risk group and reference group on test results from grades 1-9, analysis of interviews and observations of the risk Ss, and case studies of risk Ss.…

Masangkay, Zenaida S.; And Others – Child Development, 1974
Three experiments assessed the ability of 2 to 5-year-old children to infer, under very simple task conditions, what another person sees when viewing something from a position other than the children's own. (ST)

Guez, Jean R. – 1978
This study investigated the extent of infant peripheral vision, specifically the extent of infants' constricted field, or tunnel vision. Thirteen infants, 2 to 5 months old, were tested using a psychophysical procedure to obtain contrast sensitivity thresholds at four retinal loci (-40, -15, +15, +40 deg.). Infants were placed in an infant bed in…

Fantz, Robert L.; Fagan, Joseph F., III – Child Development, 1975
Tests the hypothesis that age-related shifts in infants' visual preferences for stimuli (varying in complexity as defined by number of light-dark intersections) are due to changing attention value both within and between the inversely varying dimensions of size and number. (Author/ED)
